Article 3
COSTS


3.1 Initial Development Costs.  Aevi will bear all costs and expenses, including but not limited to FTE costs and out-of-pocket costs, incurred by or on behalf of Aevi or its Affiliates and their contractors relating to the conduct of the Initial Development.  For the avoidance of doubt, neither KKC nor any of its Affiliates will be responsible for any cost incurred by or on behalf of Aevi in connection to its activities conducted under this Agreement or the Initial Development.
3.2 Lonza Costs.  The Parties do not anticipate that any manufacture of Anti-LIGHT mAb will occur under this Agreement.  However, if during the CDOA Term (as defined in Section 7.1) Aevi contracts with an Authorized CRO and CMO for the manufacture of Anti-LIGHT mAb or for the non-GMP process development work contemplated by Section 2.6, and the entry into such contract triggers any payment obligation by KKC to Lonza, then Aevi will reimburse KKC any and all such payments that KKC makes to Lonza, provided that any such reimbursement obligations of Aevi will not exceed (***).  Alternatively, if Aevi enters into the Aevi Lonza Supply Agreement or Aevi Lonza Plan A/B License Agreement, Aevi may deduct (***%***) of the upfront payments and milestone payments (but not annual fees) made by Aevi to Lonza from the initial license fee and milestone payments to be paid to KKC by Aevi under the Plan A/B 
-8-






License Agreement (as defined in Section 4.1.4(b)), such deduction not to exceed (a) if the Plan A Election (as defined in Section 4.1.4(b)) and only the Plan A Election is made, (***$***) or (b) if the Plan B Election (as defined in Section 4.1.4(b)) and/or the Plan C Option (as defined in Section 4.2.1) is exercised, (***$***).  For clarity, if Lonza and Aevi enter into the Aevi Lonza Plan A/B License Agreement or Plan C License Agreement and Aevi has an obligation to pay an annual fee to Lonza pursuant to the Aevi Lonza Plan A/B License Agreement or Plan C License Agreement during the CDOA Term, as between the Parties, Aevi will solely bear such annual fee, and such payment will not be subject to the deduction set forth in this Section 3.2.

Article 5
DATA; CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION


5.1 Initial Development Data.  
5.1.1 The Parties will jointly own any and all Initial Development Data.  KKC or Aevi, or their respective Affiliates, will use the Initial Development Data only to conduct Initial Development as contemplated hereunder or to analyze the results of the Initial Development.  During the CDOA Term (as defined in Section 7.1) and except if permitted by a Plan A/B License Agreement or Plan C License Agreement then in effect, neither Party will, without the other Party’s prior written consent, use or cause any Third Party to access or use the Initial Development Data for any other purpose.    
5.1.2 The Parties will jointly own any intellectual property arising from the Initial Development or the Initial Development Data (“Initial Development IP”), except for patents and patent applications, where ownership will follow inventorship.  For clarity, Aevi will own patents and patent applications solely invented by Aevi inventors, KKC will own patents and patent applications solely invented by KKC inventors, and Aevi and KKC will jointly own patents and patent applications invented by one or more Aevi inventor and one or more KKC inventor.  Inventorship will be resolved in accordance with US patent laws.  During the CDOA Term, each Party may practice the Initial Development IP with a right to sublicense only with the other Party’s consent, for any purpose subject to such Party’s obligations under this Agreement; provided that Aevi may sublicense the Initial Development IP as necessary or desirable to conduct the Initial Development including to its Affiliates, clinical sites and each Authorized CRO and CMO.  During the CDOA Term, unless expressly provided herein, the intellectual property provisions in the license agreement attached to Exhibit B will apply to any Initial Development IP. Upon exercise of the Plan A/B Option or Plan C Option, the intellectual property provisions in the Plan A/B License Agreement or the Plan C License Agreement will apply to the Initial Development IP applicable to such license agreement and this Agreement will apply to the Initial Development IP that relates to the option that remains exercisable under this Agreement.  If this Agreement expires or terminates prior to the exercise of the Plan A/B Option or Plan C Option, then all rights in the Initial Development Data and any Initial Development IP (including any patents or patent applications contained therein) will revert to KKC, and Aevi, at Aevi’s cost and expense, will and hereby does assign to KKC, effective as of the effective date of such expiration or termination, Aevi’s entire right title and interest in and to the Initial Development Data and any Initial Development IP (including without limitation any patents or patent applications contained therein). 
5.1.3 During the CDOA Term, unless explicitly authorized in this Agreement or a Plan A/B License Agreement or Plan C License Agreement then in effect, Aevi and KKC will not, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or  delayed, file any patent application, issue any scientific publications, or conduct further clinical studies with respect to the Initial Development Data, except that the foregoing will not be construed to prohibit the clinical investigators of the Studies (including, without limitation, CHOP) from making scholarly publications of the clinical data included in 
-12-






the Initial Development Data (“Publications”); provided that Aevi will ensure that (a) any such clinical investigator must agree to submit to KKC for its review and comment, a copy of any proposed Publication, abstract or other disclosure resulting from such activities, simultaneous with submission of the same to Aevi and at least (***) prior to any such presentation or publication, (b) such publication will not contain any references to, or otherwise disclose any of, the Confidential Information (other than such clinical data included in the Initial Development Data) without KKC’s prior written consent, and (c) that at KKC’s request, such clinical investigator will, for a reasonable period of up to (***) from initial delivery to KKC, delay revealing any subject matter included in the Initial Development Data in any publication or disclosure in order to permit the filing of patent applications.   
5.2 Confidential Information.  
5.2.1 Definition of Confidential Information.  “Confidential Information” means, any information that is disclosed by or on behalf of a Party (together with its Affiliates, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (together with its Affiliates, the “Receiving Party”) that is (a) identified as confidential or some other similar designation either in writing or orally, provided that any orally disclosed information is described in reasonable detail in a written notice sent by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party within thirty (30) days of the oral disclosure requesting that such information be treated as ‘Confidential Information’ hereunder, (b) manifestly confidential, whether or not marked as such, and (c) proprietary data or information of such Disclosing Party or its sublicensees, including without limitation, (i) the existence and content of this Agreement (including the Exhibits attached hereto), (ii) the Initial Development Data, (iii) the information transferred under Section 1.1, (iv) any ‘KKC Confidential Information’ as defined by the “CONFIDENTIALITY AND NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT” made and entered into on May 22, 2015 among the Parties, (***) and CHOP, as amended through the date hereof, and (v) the confidential information disclosed under the Original CDOA, and, for clarity, KKC will be deemed to be the Disclosing Party for purposes of this Agreement with respect to such ‘KKC Confidential Information’.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, the Initial Development Data will be deemed to be Confidential Information of both Parties during the CDOA Term, and if this Agreement expires or terminates prior to exercise of the Plan A/B Option or the Plan C Option, then the Initial Development Data will be deemed to be Confidential Information of KKC.  
5.2.2 Use and Disclosure.  Except as permitted by a Plan A/B License Agreement or Plan C License Agreement then in effect, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party will be used by the Receiving Party solely in connection with the activities contemplated by this Agreement, will be maintained in confidence by the Receiving Party and will not otherwise be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any Third Party, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except to the extent that the Confidential Information (as determined by competent documentation):
(a) was known or used by the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure prior to its date of disclosure to the Receiving Party; or
-13-






(b) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure by sources other than the Disclosing Party rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information; or
(c) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party becomes published or generally known to the public (including without limitation information known to the public through the sale of products in the ordinary course of business) through no fault or omission on the part of the Receiving Party; or
(d) is independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without reference to or reliance upon the Confidential Information.
5.2.3 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of this Article 5 will not preclude the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information pursuant to Section 5.1.3 or to the extent such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party (i) in any filings made to the FDA or other similar regulatory authority in the United States or any other country, provided that such filings are directly related to the Initial Development, (ii) to defend or prosecute litigation or comply with governmental regulations, (iii) in connection with a valid order from a court or other governmental authority or (iv) in compliance with Section 5.3, provided that in each such case, the Party disclosing such information will disclose no more Confidential Information than is necessary and will provide the other Party with as much prior notice of the pendency of any such disclosure as is reasonably possible to allow such other Party sufficient opportunity to object to such disclosure or to exercise its rights to seek a protective order or request for confidential treatment for any such Confidential Information.  KKC and Aevi each agree that they may provide Confidential Information received from the other Party only to their respective directors, officers, employees, or permitted subcontractors under and in accordance with Section 2.8, collaborators and advisors, and to those of such Party’s Affiliates, who have a need to know for the purposes of the Initial Development and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as strict as this Article 5.  In addition, each Party may disclose the terms of this Agreement (to the extent such terms are confidential) to its actual or prospective lenders, investors, acquirers, licensees/sublicensees or strategic partners or to a Party’s accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors; provided that such disclosures will be subject to continued confidentiality obligations at least as strict as those contained in this Article 5. 
5.2.4 Duration.  If this Agreement expires pursuant to Section 7.1(i)(a), 7.1(ii)(a) or is terminated pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5, all obligations of confidentiality imposed under this Article 5 will expire five (5) years following such expiration or termination, except with respect to a trade secret, for which such obligations of confidentiality shall expire when such trade secret is no longer a trade secret.  If this Agreement expires pursuant to Section 7.1(i)(b) or 7.1(ii)(b), then the Plan A/B License Agreement and Plan C License Agreement, each to the extent in effect, supersedes this Article 5 and will govern matters concerning Confidential Information, and any and all Confidential Information will be deemed to be “Confidential Information” as such term is defined in the Plan A/B License Agreement and Plan C License Agreement, each to the extent in effect.
-14-






5.3 Publicity.  Except for  public disclosures (a) permitted under Section 5.1.3 or 5.2.3 or (b) required by Applicable Law or by the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which any of a Party’s securities is listed, neither Party will disclose any publicity, news release or public announcements, written or oral, whether to the public or press, stockholders or otherwise, relating to the execution of this Agreement, the subject matter of this Agreement, any of the terms of this Agreement, or any amendment hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party.   If a public disclosure, other than public disclosures concerning either or both of the Studies and the development of the anti-LIGHT mAb, is required by any Applicable Law, including, without limitation, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or submission to an exchange on which any securities of a Party is listed, the disclosing Party shall provide copies of the disclosure (omitting portions of any filing, submission or disclosure not relevant to this provision) reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure, for the non-disclosing Party’s prior review and comment and to allow the other Party a reasonable time to object to any such disclosure or to request confidential treatment thereof. The disclosing Party will negotiate in good faith with the applicable Regulatory Authority concerning the confidential treatment request.  If the disclosure is substantially similar to prior disclosures made by the Party and for which the obligations of this provision have been satisfied, the disclosing Party need not share such disclosure ahead of it being made.
5.4 Use of Names and Trademarks.  Neither Party may use the name, trademark, trade name or logo of the other Party in any publicity, news release or public disclosure relating to this Agreement or its subject matter without the prior express written permission of the other Party, except as otherwise permitted under Sections 5.1.3 or 5.2.3.

and agree that terms and conditions of such sublicense of the Lonza Technology to Aevi will be discussed and determined by the Parties separately from this Agreement.
6.4 No Sublicensing.  Aevi will not sublicense any of the rights granted to it under Section 6.1, 6.2 or 6.3 to any Third Party except to the extent required in connection with subcontracting the Initial Development to its Affiliates, CHOP, or to another clinical site or to an Authorized CRO and CMO as set forth in Section 2.8 , and only upon KKC’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that KKC’s denial of a consent will not be considered to be unreasonable if after compliance with Section 2.9, KKC is not able to obtain the applicable consent.
6.5 No Other Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, under no circumstances will a Party, as a result of this Agreement, obtain any ownership interest or other right in any intellectual property rights of the other Party, including without limitation items controlled or developed by the other Party, or provided by the other Party to the receiving Party at any time pursuant to this Agreement. 
Article 7
TERM AND TERMINATION


7.1 Term.  This Agreement will become effective on the CDOA Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5, will expire on the later of (i) the earlier of (a) the expiration of the Plan A/B Option Period if Aevi does not exercise the Plan A/B Option or (b) the Plan A/B License Agreement Effective Date if Aevi does exercise the Plan A/B Option, and (ii) the earlier of (a) the expiration of the Plan C Option Exercise Period if Aevi does not exercise the Plan C Option or (b) the Plan C License Agreement Effective Date if Aevi does exercise the Plan C Option (the “CDOA Term”). For avoidance of doubt, this Agreement will not expire when only the Plan A/B Option or Plan C Option is exercised by Aevi.
7.2 Termination for Breach.  If a Party (the “Breaching Party”) is in breach of this Agreement, the other Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) will have the right to give the Breaching Party notice specifying the nature of such breach.  The Breaching Party will have a period of thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice to cure such breach (the “Cure Period”) in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Non-Breaching Party.  The Non-Breaching Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon delivery of written notice to the Breaching Party, in the event that the Breaching Party has not cured such breach within the Cure Period, provided that, if such breach is capable of cure but cannot be cured within the Cure Period, and the Breaching Party commences actions to cure such breach within the Cure Period and thereafter diligently continues such actions, the Non-Breaching Party may only terminate this Agreement if the Breaching Party stops using diligent efforts to cure such breach.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.2 is not intended to restrict in any way either Party’s right to notify the other Party of any other breach or to demand the cure of any other breach.  
7.3 Termination for Insolvency.  To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, either Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, at its sole discretion, upon delivery

7.4 Termination for Safety Reasons. If KKC and Aevi do not agree on whether the either or both of the Studies must be terminated because of a Material Safety Issue pursuant to Section 2.5.2, Aevi will have the right to terminate this Agreement as to the applicable study. In the event KKC wishes to terminate this Agreement because of a Material Safety Issue related to either or both of the Studies but Aevi does not agree, Aevi will have the right to continue the Studies, provided that it will assume all liability for any such decision and indemnify KKC for any liability resulting in such continuation, as set forth in Section 9.4.
7.5 Termination by KKC. If the Adolescent Study Report and COVID Study Report are not provided to KKC within (***) for reasons other than reasons that are outside of Aevi’s control, then KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to Aevi.  KKC may also terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon written notice to Aevi as set forth in Section 8.6.2.
7.6 Effects of Expiration or Termination.

In the event Aevi destroys the unused Materials, Aevi will provide KKC with a certificate regarding compliance with this provision. 
7.6.2 Upon expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(i)(a) or 7.1(ii)(a) or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5, the license agreements attached hereto as Exhibits B, C and G, if not already effective at such time, will not become effective and will be null and void.  Upon expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(i)(b) or 7.1(ii)(b), the license agreements attached hereto as Exhibits B, C and G that became effective shall remain fully effective notwithstanding that it is not separately executed by the Parties and notwithstanding expiration of this Agreement.
7.6.3 In any termination or expiration of this Agreement, KKC has no obligation for further Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization of the Licensed Product.  Aevi shall be responsible for all negotiations with BARDA for the abandonment, and KKC will not take over from Aevi any Development, Manufacture and/or Commercialization for Licensed Product requested by BARDA.

Sections 1.1.2 (last two sentences only), 1.1.3 (second sentence only upon (a) expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(i)(a) or (ii)(a) or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 or 7.5, in each case only if none of the license agreements attached hereto as Exhibits B, C or G shall have become effective), 1.2, 2.10, 3.1, 3.2, 5.1.2, 5.1.3 (with respect to publication review rights), 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.5, 7.6 and this 7.7 and Article 9 and Article 10 will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason in accordance with their respective terms; provided that if the Plan A/B License Agreement becomes fully effective in accordance with Section 4.1.4(b) and/or if the Plan C License Agreement becomes fully effective in accordance with Section 4.2, to the extent there is any inconsistency between such surviving terms and the terms of the Plan A/B License Agreement and/or the terms of the Plan C License Agreement, the terms of the Plan A/B License Agreement and/or the terms of the Plan C License Agreement will control.

(e) Aevi will not enter into any subsequent agreement with CHOP that modifies or amends the Aevi In-License in any way that would materially adversely affect KKC’s rights or economic interest under this Agreement without KKC’s prior written consent.
(f) Aevi will not terminate the Aevi In-License in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, without KKC’s prior written consent if such termination would materially affect KKC’s license granted hereunder; for clarity Aevi may (i) terminate the Aevi In-License by acquiring all of the intellectual property licensed thereunder, or (ii) terminate its obligation to

make royalty and milestone payments by making a lump-sum payment, and Aevi will promptly notify KKC after the occurrence of each such event.
(g) Aevi will furnish KKC with copies of all notices received by Aevi relating to any alleged breach or default by Aevi under the Aevi In-License within (***) after Aevi’s receipt thereof and, if Aevi cannot or chooses not to cure or otherwise resolve any such alleged breach or default, Aevi will so notify KKC within (***) thereafter.
8.6.2 Debarment.  Neither Aevi nor its Affiliates will employ (or, to its knowledge, use any contractor or consultant that employs) any individual or entity debarred by the FDA (or subject to a similar sanction of a regulatory authority), or, to its knowledge, any individual who or entity which is the subject of an FDA debarment investigation or proceeding (or similar proceeding of a regulatory authority), in the conduct of its activities under this Agreement, and each contractor or consultant used by a Party in connection with the conduct of clinical trials under this Agreement will be subject to a covenant that is the same or substantially the same as the foregoing covenant.

Article 9
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION


9.1 NO WARRANTY.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement (including, without limitation, any exhibits or attachments hereto) will be construed as representing an estimate or projection of either (a) the extent to which Licensed Products will be successfully Developed or Commercialized or (b) the anticipated sales or the actual value of any Licensed Product.  NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP OR COMMERCIALIZE ANY LICENSED PRODUCT OR, IF COMMERCIALIZED, THAT IT WILL ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR SALES LEVEL OF SUCH LICENSED PRODUCT(S).  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR EXTENDS ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR OTHER SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL OF THE FOREGOING.  EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE OR COMMERCIALIZATION OF ANY LICENSED 
-23-






PRODUCT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.  AEVI ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE MATERIALS ARE IN THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE AND MAY HAVE HAZARDOUS PROPERTIES AND ARE PROVIDED BY KKC “AS IS”.  KKC MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND FOR THE MATERIALS, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE AND KKC SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. 
9.2 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.  EXCEPT FOR BREACHES OF A PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS SUBJECT TO INDEMNIFICATION HEREUNDER NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS).
9.3 Aevi Indemnity.  Aevi will indemnify, defend and hold harmless KKC and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and representatives (the “KKC Indemnitees”), from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, costs (including without limitation reasonable legal expenses, costs of litigation and reasonable attorney’s fees) or judgments of any kind (collectively “Losses”), arising out of any Third Party claim, suit or proceeding, whether for money or equitable relief, (each a “Third Party Claim”) to the extent arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly: (a) the negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of Aevi or its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, and agents, in connection with Aevi’s performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement during the CDOA Term; (b) any breach by Aevi of this Agreement, including without limitation any representation, warranty, or covenant set forth in this Agreement, during the CDOA Term; or (c) the use, transfer, importation or exportation, manufacture, labeling, handling or storage, or use or disposal of, or exposure to the Materials, or the conduct of the Initial Development, including without limitation for each of clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, claims and threatened claims based on (i) product liability, bodily injury, risk of bodily injury, death or property damage and (ii) the failure to comply with Applicable Law except in any such case for Losses and Third Party Claims to the extent reasonably attributable to any KKC Indemnitee having committed an act or acts of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct.  In addition, Aevi will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the KKC Indemnitees against any and all Losses to the extent arising out of Third Party Claims related to, directly or indirectly, any activities performed by or on behalf of Aevi or an Authorized CRO and CMO, if, pursuant to Section 2.9, KKC sublicenses its rights under such KKC Technology to Aevi or an Authorized CRO and CMO.
-24-






9.4 Indemnity for Material Safety Issue.  Without limiting any remedy otherwise available, or the indemnity obligations contained in Section 9.3 (but only to the extent not otherwise covered by Section 9.3), if, pursuant to Section 7.4, KKC believes that there is a Material Safety Issue and wishes to terminate this Agreement as a result, but Aevi does not agree and elects instead to continue the Studies, then Aevi will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the KKC Indemnitees against any and all any Losses arising from any claim, suit or proceeding brought either directly by KKC or its Affiliates or by any Third Party, in each case, to the extent that such claim, suit or proceeding or related Losses arise out of or relate to, directly or indirectly, any activities performed by or on behalf of Aevi in connection with the Studies following Aevi’s decision to continue the Studies after KKC notifies Aevi pursuant to Section 2.5.2 that KKC believes the Studies should be terminated. 
9.5 KKC Indemnity.  KKC will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Aevi and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and their respective successors, heirs and assigns and representatives (the “Aevi Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses arising out of any Third Party Claim to the extent arising out of or relating to, directly or indirectly:  (a) the negligence, recklessness or wrongful intentional acts or omissions of KKC or its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents, in connection with KKC’s performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights under this Agreement during the CDOA Term; or (b) any breach by KKC of this Agreement, including without limitation any representation, warranty, or covenant set forth in this Agreement, during the CDOA Term, including without limitation for each of clauses (a) and (b) above, claims and threatened claims based on the failure to comply with Applicable Law; except in any such case for Losses and Third Party Claims to the extent reasonably attributable to any Aevi Indemnitee having committed an act or acts of negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct.
9.6 Indemnification Procedure.  A claim to which indemnification applies under Section 9.3, 9.4 or 9.5 will be referred to herein as an “Indemnification Claim”.  If any KKC Indemnitee or Aevi Indemnitee (either, an “Indemnitee”) intends to claim indemnification under this Article 9, the Indemnitee will notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing promptly upon becoming aware of any claim that may be an Indemnification Claim (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnitee to give such notice will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice).  The Indemnitor will have the right to assume and control the defense of the Indemnification Claim at its own expense with counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee will have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnitee, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceedings.  If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of the Indemnification Claim as described in this Section 9.6, the Indemnitee may defend the Indemnification Claim, but will have no obligation to do so.  The Indemnitee will not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, and the Indemnitor will not settle or compromise the Indemnification Claim in any manner which would have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee’s 
-25-






interests (including without limitation any rights under this Agreement or the scope or enforceability of the either Party’s intellectual property, or Confidential Information or patent or other rights licensed to Aevi by KKC hereunder), without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent, in each case, will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor at the Indemnitor’s expense and will make available to the Indemnitor all pertinent information under the control of the Indemnitee, which information will be considered Confidential Information and subject to Article 5.
9.7 Insurance.  Aevi will maintain insurance with respect to its activities to be performed in connection with the Initial Development.  Such insurance will be in such amounts and subject to such deductibles as the Parties may agree based upon standards prevailing in the industry at the time.  
Article 10

10.4 Severability.  If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the Parties will substitute, by mutual consent, valid provisions for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions, which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement with such valid provisions.  In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of one (1) or several provisions of this Agreement will not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
10.5 Independent Contractors.  It is understood and agreed that the relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors and that nothing in this Agreement will be construed as authorization for either KKC or Aevi to act as agent for the other.  Nothing herein contained will be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties or any of their agents or employees for any purpose, including tax purposes, or to create any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party.  Neither Party will have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
10.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries.  No person or entity other than Aevi, KKC and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder will be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

10.8 No Strict Construction.  This Agreement has been prepared jointly and will not be strictly construed against either Party.
10.9 Headings.  The captions or headings of the sections or other subdivisions hereof are inserted only as a matter of convenience or for reference and will have no effect on the meaning of the provisions hereof.
-27-






10.10 No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative.  No failure on the part of KKC or Aevi to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, will impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
10.11 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of executed copies (including by PDF) of this Agreement or counterparts thereof by facsimile, email or other electronic means will have the same legal validity as delivery of ink-signed copies.
10.12 Governing Law.  This Agreement will be construed and the respective rights of the Parties determined according to the substantive laws of the State of New York, New York, U.S.A., notwithstanding the provisions governing conflict of laws of any jurisdiction to the contrary.
10.13 Dispute Resolution.  
10.13.1   Escalation.  With respect to any disputes between the Parties concerning this Agreement, the dispute will be submitted to escalating levels of Aevi and KKC senior management for review.  If the dispute cannot be resolved despite such escalation, then the matter will be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of Aevi (or an executive of Aevi designated by such Chief Executive Officer) and the Chief Executive Officer of KKC (or an executive of KKC designated by such Chief Executive Officer) (the “Executive Officers”) to be resolved by negotiation in good faith as soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after referral.  Such resolution, if any, by the Executive Officers will be final and binding on the Parties.  If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) day period, each Party may submit such dispute for arbitration pursuant to Section 10.13.2.
10.13.2   Arbitration. 
(a) If any dispute will arise between KKC and Aevi in connection with or relating to this Agreement and is referred for arbitration pursuant to Section 10.13.1, then such dispute will be resolved exclusively by and through an arbitration proceeding to be conducted under the auspices of, and pursuant to, the Commercial Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (together with any successor organization thereto, the “ICC”) in New York, New York, U.S.A..  Such arbitration proceeding will be conducted in the English language applying the law provided in Section 10.12 and in such an expedited manner as is then permitted by the ICC’s commercial arbitration rules.  The Parties also agree to take reasonable discovery, with reasonableness to be determined by the arbitrators.  Each of the foregoing agreements to arbitrate all disputes and the results, determinations, findings, judgments and awards rendered through such arbitration will be final, non-appealable and legally binding on KKC and Aevi and may be entered and enforced by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding 
-28-






anything to the contrary in this Section 10.13, a Party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Any arbitration proceeding will be initiated by written notice from either KKC or Aevi to the other Party.  The arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators.  Each of KKC and Aevi will have the right to select one (1) arbitrator.  The third arbitrator will be selected by the mutual agreement of the arbitrators appointed by the Parties.  The Party initiating the arbitration proceeding will appoint its arbitrator within ten (10) days following service of the demand for arbitration to the other Party, who will in turn appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receiving service of the demand.  The two appointed arbitrators will agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date of the appointment by the Parties of the second arbitrator.  If either Party or their appointees fail to appoint an arbitrator within the specified time period, the ICC will exercise its powers pursuant to Article 9 of the ICC Rules of Arbitration to appoint such arbitrator.  The ICC’s appointment will be binding on the Parties.  Each arbitrator will be an attorney in good standing in the Bar of New York and experienced in commercial disputes involving pharmaceutical companies.  Time is of the essence as regards this arbitration procedure, and KKC and Aevi will instruct the arbitrators to render their decision within ninety (90) days of the arbitration’s completion.  The cost of the arbitration (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne as the arbitrators will decide; otherwise such costs (including, without limitation, the prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne by the Party against which the judgment of the arbitrator is to be enforced.
10.14 Assignment.  Each Party may, without the consent of the other Party, assign or transfer all of its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate, or to its successor in interest by reason of merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.  Any assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void and wholly invalid.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding on the Parties’ successors and assigns.

Subject to Section 5.3.3, AEVI will Manufacture and supply all of KKC’s requirements of Licensed Product for Commercialization and/or Development outside the Field in the Territory and outside the Territory.  AEVI will supply KKC with unlabeled vialed Licensed Product for clinical trials conducted (a) outside the Territory, and (b) outside of the Field in the Territory and unlabeled vialed Licensed Product for Commercialization (i)  outside the Territory or (ii) outside the Field in the Territory, in each case at (***).  AEVI’s distribution of Licensed Product will be to a single distributor or Affiliate of KKC, as directed by KKC.  AEVI will ship all Licensed Product FCA (INCOTERMS 2020) AEVI’s point of destination.  The Parties will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete within (***) after the Effective Date a supply agreement governing the terms of such supply by AEVI to KKC containing reasonable and customary terms contained herein and those additional terms typically associated with supply of pharmaceutical products (the “Supply Agreement”).
5.3.3 KKC Manufacture Option. KKC will have the right to assume the right and responsibility to Manufacture or have Manufactured the Licensed Product for the jurisdictions designated in writing by KKC by notifying AEVI (“KKC Manufacture Option”).  KKC may exercise the KKC Manufacture Option at any time on or before (***).  Within (***) after such notice, the JCC will begin working on a transition plan for transferring responsibility for such Manufacturing from AEVI to KKC within a commercially reasonable timeframe, which transition plan will ensure the continuous, uninterrupted supply of the Licensed Product in the Territory, a process for ensuring that the transfer of the Manufacturing process and KKC’s Manufacturing activities will comply with all Applicable Law (including without limitation obtaining all required permits and licenses from FDA) and the assignment to, and assumption by, KKC of any manufacturing agreement entered into between AEVI or any of its Related Parties and any Third Party for the Manufacture of the Licensed Product (the “Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan”).  In the event that KKC determines not to assume any contract for the Manufacture of the Licensed Product, AEVI and KKC will each be responsible for the payment of fifty percent (50%) of any fees and expenses attributable to the early termination of such agreement.  The Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan will be subject to the unanimous approval of the JSC.  Each Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform its responsibilities under the Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan.  Under the Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan, AEVI will transfer to KKC all AEVI Know-How that is reasonably necessary or useful for Manufacturing of the Licensed Product.  Upon transfer of Manufacturing to KKC in accordance with the Manufacturing Responsibility Transition Plan, as between the Parties, KKC will assume the right and responsibility to Manufacture Licensed Products for the jurisdictions designated by KKC, itself or through Third Parties.  For the avoidance of doubt, none of AEVI or any of its Related Parties will be required to cease Manufacturing of the Licensed Product or to terminate any manufacturing agreement entered into between AEVI or any of its Related Parties and any Third Party for the Manufacture of the Licensed Product, in each case, until (a) KKC enters into a supply agreement with AEVI or its 
29








Related Parties (as designated by AEVI) governing the terms of supply by KKC to AEVI containing reasonable and customary terms contained herein and those terms typically associated with supply of pharmaceutical product and (b) the transition of Manufacturing to KKC has been successfully completed including KKC receiving all required permits and licenses from FDA and KKC demonstrating its ability to Manufacture Licensed Product for the Field in the Territory that meets all relevant quality standards and specifications and in quantities sufficient to meet AEVI’s and its Related Parties requirements.  The Out-of-Pocket Costs for the transfer will be shared equally by both Parties. After the transition is completed, AEVI will have the right to purchase the unlabeled vialed Licensed Product from KKC at (***).
5.3.4 Inspection Rights. Not more than once per year, if either Party (the “Inspecting Party”) has any reasonable concerns regarding the other Party’s or its Related Parties’ Manufacturing of any Licensed Products or any other reasonable necessities for inspection or audit, the Inspecting Party will have the right, at the Inspecting Party’s expense and on not less than (***) prior notice, to inspect the facilities where the other Party or its Related Parties Manufacture, or have Manufactured, any Licensed Products and to audit the procedures of such other Party or its Related Parties for the Manufacturing of Licensed Products for purposes of quality control.
5.4 Medical Affairs Activities.  AEVI will be solely responsible for Medical Affairs Activities with the Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory, and KKC will be solely responsible for Medical Affairs Activities with the Licensed Products outside the Territory.  The Commercialization Party will have the exclusive right to respond to all questions or requests for information about the Licensed Products made by any medical professionals or any other Person in its respective territory and field that are beyond the scope of the Product Labels and Inserts.
5.5 Cross Territory Sales.
5.5.1 KKC Restrictions.  KKC will not Commercialize or authorize the Commercialization of any Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory.  KKC will not, itself or through any of its Affiliates or any Third Party, directly solicit, advertise, sell, distribute, ship, consign, or otherwise transfer any Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory; provided that KKC may ship, consign, or otherwise transfer any Licensed Product inside Territory for purposes of Manufacturing the Licensed Products for Development and Commercialization of the Licensed Products outside Territory or outside the Field in the Territory.  KKC will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that Licensed Products sold by or on behalf of KKC outside the Territory are not Commercialized in the Field in the Territory, including use via re-importation from a country or jurisdiction outside the Territory.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, KKC will not, and will not permit any of its Related Parties to, sell any Licensed Product to a purchaser if it knows that such purchaser does, or intends to, promote the use of such Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory.  KKC will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that its Related Parties comply with all of the foregoing obligations, including via the enforcement of KKC’s contracts with any of the foregoing.
5.5.2 AEVI Restrictions.  AEVI will not Commercialize or authorize the Commercialization of any Licensed Product outside the Territory or outside the Field in the 
30








Territory.  AEVI will not, itself or through any of its Affiliates or any Third Party, directly solicit, advertise, sell, distribute, ship, consign, or otherwise transfer any Licensed Product outside the Territory or outside the Field in the Territory; provided that AEVI may ship, consign, or otherwise transfer any Licensed Product outside the Territory for purposes of Manufacturing the Licensed Products and/or Developing the Licensed Products for Commercialization in the Field in the Territory.  AEVI will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to ensure that Licensed Products sold by or on behalf of AEVI in the Territory are not Commercialized outside the Territory.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, AEVI will not, and will not permit any of its Related Parties to, sell any Licensed Product to a purchaser if it knows that such purchaser does, or intends to, promote the use of such Licensed Product outside the Field in the Territory or facilitate the use of such Licensed Product outside the Territory.

Article 6.
DILIGENCE


6.1 Diligence in Development.  
6.1.1 Generally. AEVI will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (subject, with respect to Canada, to Section 6.1.2) and the European Union and to obtain Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (subject, with respect to Canada, to Section 6.1.2) and the European Union.  For clarity, in the European Union, AEVI will apply to obtain the Regulatory Approval for a Licensed Product for the initial indication in the Field, provided that such Regulatory Approval will be owned by KKC or KKC’s designee and will designate KKC or KKC’s designee as the marketing authorization holder as described in Section 4.3.1(c)(ii).  For clarity, AEVI will take the lead for the Phase 4 Clinical Trial in the European Union and provide KKC or KKC’s designee all the Regulatory Materials with respect to such Phase 4 Clinical Trial for the initial indication. Subject to Section 6.1.2, if, with respect to any country in the Territory or the European Union, AEVI (a) does not (***), or (b) (***) files a Regulatory Approval Application but does not obtain Regulatory Approval and no additional clinical Development or Manufacturing activities are being conducted (***) in such country for such Licensed Product, then KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such country.  For the avoidance of doubt, the filing of a Regulatory Approval Application with the EMA is considered a filing of a Regulatory Approval Application in all countries of the European Union. 
6.1.2 Canada. With respect to Canada, the Parties acknowledge that Development of a Licensed Product in the Field in Canada is a matter for discussion in the JDC and the JSC at an appropriate time after Development of the Licensed Product for the initial indication in the Field in the Territory and the European Union is substantially advanced.  Such discussion should take place no later than when the JSC decides to file the first Regulatory Approval Application for the Licensed Products in the Field in the United States, following the data readout of the Phase 3 Clinical Trial.  If the JSC unanimously agrees not to proceed with the Development of a 
31








Licensed Product in the Field in Canada and not to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada, then AEVI will not be required to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop a Licensed Product and to obtain Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada.  If AEVI elects not to proceed with the Development of a Licensed Product in the Field in Canada and not to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada, and the JSC does not unanimously agree to the foregoing, then KKC may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2.3 solely with respect to Canada, and AEVI will not be required to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop a Licensed Product in the Field in Canada and to obtain Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada.
6.2 Diligence in Commercialization.  AEVI will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize each Licensed Product in each country of the Territory in which Regulatory Approval is obtained, including identifying and committing sufficient resources for pre-launch, launch and subsequent Commercialization activities.  KKC will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Commercialize each Licensed Product in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy (“EU5 Countries”); provided that Regulatory Approval is obtained for such country, including identifying and committing sufficient resources for pre-launch, launch and subsequent Commercialization activities.  Both Parties acknowledge and agree that there may be cases that KKC may use Commercially Reasonable Efforts and choose not to Commercialize the Licensed Product in some of the EU5 Countries due to reimbursement pricing or for some other reasons, and in such cases KKC will not be liable for a breach of the diligence obligation set forth in this Section 6.2 in respect of such country.
6.3 Reports.  On a semiannual basis but not later than June 30 and December 31 of each Contract Year, (a) each Party will provide to the JSC a written report summarizing its Development (including the status of any Regulatory Approval process) activities in the Territory and the European Union and (b) each Commercialization Party will provide other Party with a written report summarizing its Commercialization activities with respect to the Licensed Products in its territory on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis during the just-ended semiannual period.

All such notices of sublicenses provided by the sublicensing Party under this Section 7.4.1 will be deemed to be Confidential Information of the sublicensing Party subject to the provisions of Article 10 whether or not so marked.  (***) for nominal consideration to the extent reasonably necessary or useful for the Manufacture of Licensed Products (***).
7.4.2 Terms.  Each sublicense granted by a Party pursuant to Section 7.4.1 will be subject and subordinate to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and will contain terms and conditions consistent with those in this Agreement.  Agreements with any sublicensee that include the right to Commercialize any Licensed Product(s) will contain the following provisions: (a) the requirement set forth in Section 8.6.4(c); and (b) a requirement that such sublicensee comply with the confidentiality and non-use provisions of Article 10 with respect to both Parties’ Confidential Information. 
7.4.3 Effect of Termination on Sublicenses.  If this Agreement terminates for any reason, each Party agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enter into direct licenses with the other Party’s sublicensees; provided that the sublicensee is not in breach of its sublicense agreement and such sublicensee agrees to comply with all of the terms of this Agreement to the extent applicable from the rights originally sublicensed to it by the sublicensing Party.  
7.4.4 Subcontracting.  The Parties will be entitled to utilize the services of Third Parties, including Third Party contract research organizations and service providers to perform their respective Development activities; provided that each Party will remain at all times fully liable for its respective responsibilities under each Development Plan and this Agreement.  Any agreement with a Third Party to perform a Party’s responsibilities under this Agreement will include confidentiality and non-use provisions which are no less stringent than those set forth in Article 10 and intellectual property provisions that will allow such Party to comply with Article 9.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, AEVI will not have the right to have the Licensed Product Manufactured by any Third Party without the prior written consent of KKC, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
7.5 Exclusivity.  Until expiration of all Data Exclusivity Periods for the Licensed Product in a jurisdiction in the Territory, AEVI and its Affiliates will not Commercialize, directly or indirectly, or in-license or otherwise acquire any product that is a Competing Product in the Field in such jurisdiction; provided, however, if AEVI or its Affiliates obtains such a Competing Product through a Change of Control or other acquisition or merger with, a Third Party, then

7.6 In-Licenses.  
7.6.1 KKC In-Licenses.  All licenses and other rights granted to AEVI by KKC under this Article 7 are subject to the rights and obligations of KKC under the KKC In-Licenses.  For the avoidance of doubt, if KKC Controls only a non-exclusive license under a KKC In-License, KKC’s grant of exclusive license rights pursuant to Section 7.1 means that KKC and its Affiliates will not exercise and will not sublicense such rights with respect to Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory.  AEVI and its Related Parties, and the applicable rights and licenses granted to AEVI hereunder, shall be subject to the rights retained, and obligations imposed, by the US government pursuant to the Bayh-Dole Act, Chapter 18 of Title 35 of the United Stated Code, Sections 200-212 with respect to the KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI.

amounts KKC is obligated to pay AEVI under Sections 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 on sales of such Licensed Product, provided that in no event will any such offset (a) with respect to sales in the Field in the European Union, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(a) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties in the Field in the European Union, (b) with respect to sales in the Field outside of the Territory and outside of the European Union, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(b) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties in the Field outside of the Territory and outside of the European Union, (c) with respect to sales outside of the Field outside of the Territory, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(c) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties outside of the Field outside of the Territory, and (d) with respect to sales in the Territory, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(d) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties in the Territory; provided further that, if such (***) offset of such costs and expenses and damages incurred by the Parties exceeds the amount of payments withheld by KKC under this Section 8.5.3 in any Contract Quarter, the excess may be carried over as a credit on the same basis into succeeding Contract Quarters.  
8.5.4 Royalty Reduction for Biosimilars.  
(a) If a Biosimilar version(s) of any Licensed Product is commercialized in any country in which there are Royalty-Bearing Sales, then the royalty rate payable to AEVI pursuant to Sections 8.5.1, 8.5.2 and 8.5.3 applicable for the sale of Licensed Products in such country will be reduced by (i) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country, (ii) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country, (iii) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country, (iv) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country; and (v) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country.  For clarity, the reduction in royalty rates permitted pursuant to this Section 8.5.4 will be taken after any reduction taken pursuant to Section 8.5.2 and Section 8.5.3.  For the avoidance of doubt, the minimum EU Royalty Rate will be (***), each of the minimum KKC Territory Royalty Rate and the minimum Other Royalty Rate will be (***) and the minimum Territory Royalty Rate (on a country-by-country basis) will be no less than (***) of the Territory Royalty Rate (on a country-by-country basis) then in-effect prior to the adjustments permitted by this Section 8.5.4; provided that, if such reduction permitted under this Section 8.5.4 exceeds the amount of payments withheld by KKC under this Section 8.5.4 in any Contract Quarter, the excess may be carried over as a credit on the same basis into succeeding Contract Quarters. 
(b) The Parties will utilize a mutually-agreed (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) measure of the market share of any relevant Biosimilars in each country where a Biosimilar version(s) of a Licensed Product is being commercialized and will adjust the royalty rate payable to AEVI for the sale of Licensed Products in such country every (***), to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 8.5.4(a).  If the 
40








royalty rate payable to AEVI for the sale of Licensed Products has been adjusted pursuant to Section 8.5.4(a), then such royalty rates in such country may not thereafter be adjusted upwards.   
8.5.5 Reports and Royalty Payments.  Within (***) after the end of each Contract Quarter during the Term, KKC will deliver to AEVI a report setting forth for the previous Contract Quarter the following information on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis: (a) the gross sales and Royalty-Bearing Sales of each Licensed Product, (b) the number of units sold by KKC or its Affiliate, (c) the Sublicensing Royalty received by KKC, (d) the basis for any adjustments to the royalty payable for the sale of each Licensed Product, (e) the royalty due hereunder for the sales of each Licensed Product, and (f) the applicable exchange rate as determined pursuant to Section 8.6.2.  The total royalty due for the sale of Licensed Products during such Contract Quarter will be remitted at the time such report is made but no later than (***) after the end of each Contract Quarter during the Term.  Along with such reports, KKC will also provide the Sales Tracking Methodologies used to determine Royalty-Bearing Sales outside the Field in the Territory.  
8.6 Payment Provisions Generally.
8.6.1 Taxes and Withholding.  If Applicable Laws require withholding of income taxes or other taxes imposed upon payments set forth in Article 8, the paying Party will make such withholding payments as required and subtract such withholding payments from the payments set forth in Article 8.  The paying Party will submit appropriate proof of payment of the withholding taxes to the payee Party within a reasonable period of time.  At the request of the payee Party, the paying Party will, at the payee Party’s cost, give the payee Party such reasonable assistance, which will include the provision of appropriate certificates of such deductions made together with other supporting documentation as may be required by the relevant tax authority, to enable the payee Party to claim exemption from such withholding or other tax imposed or obtain a repayment thereof or reduction thereof and will upon request provide such additional documentation from time to time as is reasonably required to confirm the payment of tax. 
8.6.2 Payment and Currency Exchange.  All amounts payable and calculations hereunder will be in United States dollars and will be paid by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as may be designated in writing by the payee Party from time to time.  Whenever for the purposes of calculating the Profit or royalties payable under Section 8.4 or 8.5, conversion from any foreign currency will be required, all amounts will first be calculated in the currency in which the activity was paid or sale was recorded and then converted into United States dollars by applying the rate of exchange quoted in the New York edition of The Wall Street Journal on the last Business Day of the paying Party of the applicable Contract Quarter.  
8.6.3 Overdue Payments.  If any payment due under this Agreement (other than payments that are the subject of a good faith dispute between the Parties) is overdue by more than thirty (30) days, the paying Party will pay interest to the payee Party at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the prime rate of interest, as reported by New York edition of The Wall Street Journal on the last Business Day of the paying Party of the applicable Contract Quarter, or 
41








the highest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the number of days such payments are paid after the date such payments are due.
8.6.4 Financial Matters Relating to Existing In-Licenses.
(a) All amounts payable in respect of Profit-Share Products under the KKC In-Licenses will be paid directly by KKC or its Related Parties to the KKC Licensor, AEVI will reimburse KKC such amounts as defined in Section 1.89(a), and any such amounts reimbursed by AEVI will be treated as Allowable Expenses.
(b) All amounts payable in respect of Profit-Share Products under AEVI In-Licenses will be paid directly by AEVI or its Related Parties to the applicable AEVI Licensor and such amounts as defined in Section 1.89(b) will be treated as Allowable Expenses to the extent paid by AEVI or any of its Related Parties.  All amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.4.1 of the AEVI In-License as a direct result of sales of any Licensed Product sold by KKC or its Related Parties will be paid and borne solely by KKC and its Related Parties.  In addition, all amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.4.2 of the AEVI In-License as a direct result of sales of any diagnostic sold by KKC or its Related Parties will be paid and borne solely by KKC and its Related Parties and will not be a part of Third Party Technology Costs described in Section 1.89(b).  For  avoidance of doubt, all amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.4.2 of the AEVI In-License as a direct result of sales of any diagnostic sold by AEVI or its Related Parties will be paid and borne solely by AEVI and its Related Parties and will not be a part of Third Party Technology Costs described in Section 1.89(b).
(c) If AEVI or any of the Related Parties contracts with a Third Party other than Lonza, or if KKC grants a sublicense under the KKC Technology to AEVI’s preferred contract manufacturer pursuant to Section 7.4.1, for the supply of the Licensed Product, and the entry into such contract triggers any payment obligation by KKC to Lonza, then AEVI will reimburse KKC (***), provided that any such reimbursement obligations of AEVI will not exceed (***) per calendar year.  Such payment to Lonza will be first payable within (***) of signature of a manufacturing agreement with such Third Party or grant of sublicense to such contract manufacturer and will continue for the duration of such manufacture by such Third Party or sublicense.  No payment made by AEVI under this Section 8.6.4(c) will be included in Allowable Expenses.  
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.6.4(c), if AEVI has entered into the AEVI Lonza License Agreement prior to the Effective Date, AEVI may deduct (***) from the initial license fee and milestone payments payable to KKC by AEVI under Sections 8.1 and 8.3, (***).  
(e) If AEVI has entered into the AEVI Lonza License Agreement prior to the Effective Date and AEVI has an obligation to pay an annual fee to Lonza pursuant to such agreement for conducting the process development or Manufacture of the Licensed Product using a contract manufacturer that is not Lonza, KKC will reimburse AEVI an amount equal to (***).  For clarity, no portion of (***) pursuant to this Section 8.6.4(e) will be subject to the deduction set forth in Section 8.6.4(d) or will be included in Allowable Expenses.  
42








8.6.5 Record-Keeping.  Each Party will keep, and will cause their respective Related Parties to keep, books and accounts of record in connection this Agreement in sufficient detail to permit accurate determination of all figures necessary for any and all financial calculations required by this Agreement, including without limitation all elements of Allowable Expense, Developments Costs, Net Sales, Royalty-Bearing Sales, and Profit.  Each Party will maintain, and will cause their respective Related Parties to maintain, such records for a period of at least five (5) years after the end of the Contract Year in which they were generated.
8.6.6 Audits.  Upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from a Party (the “Requesting Party”), the Party receiving the written notice (the “Audited Party”) will permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by the Requesting Party and reasonably acceptable to the Audited Party, to examine, at the Requesting Party’s sole expense, the relevant books and records of the Audited Party and its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to verify the amounts reporting or payable by the Audited Party to the Requesting Party.  An examination by a Requesting Party under this Section 8.6.6 will occur not more than once in any Contract Year and will be limited to the pertinent books and records for any Contract Year ended not more than five (5) years before the date of the request.  The accounting firm will be provided access to such books and records at the Audited Party’s facility(ies) where such books and records are normally kept and such examination will be conducted during the Audited Party’s normal business hours.  The Audited Party may require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement before providing the accounting firm access to the Audited Party’s facilities or records.  Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm will provide both the Audited Party and the Requesting Party a written report disclosing any discrepancies in the reports submitted by the Audited Party or, as applicable, the amounts payable under this Agreement, and in each case, the specific details concerning any discrepancies.  No other information will be provided to the Requesting Party.
8.6.7 Underpayments/Overpayments.  If such accounting firm concludes that additional amounts were due to the Requesting Party, the Audited Party will make such payments as is necessary for the Requesting Party to have been paid the correct amount due under this Agreement for the audited periods.  If such underpayment exceeds five percent (5%) of the amounts that were to be paid, the Audited Party also will reimburse the Requesting Party for all Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred in conducting the audit.  If such accounting firm correctly concludes that the Audited Party overpaid amounts due to the Requesting Party, the Requesting Party will refund such overpayments to the Audited Party within sixty (60) days of the date the Requesting Party receives such accountant’s report so correctly concluding. 
8.6.8 Confidentiality.  All financial information of a Party that is subject to review under this Section 8.6 will be deemed to be Confidential Information of such Audited Party subject to the provisions of Article 10, and the Requesting Party will not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than verifying payments to be made by the Audited Party to the Requesting Party hereunder.
43








8.7 Adjustment of FTE Rates.  Effective upon each anniversary of the Effective Date, the FTE Rates will increase by the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics during the most recent preceding one (1) year period for which final data is available, and such increase will be effective for the then-current and all subsequent FTE Costs hereunder unless and until further modified under this Section 8.7.  In addition, within sixty (60) days after the third anniversary of the Effective Date and every three (3) years thereafter, each Party will have the right to require the other Party to conduct a salary survey in respect of FTEs and provide the result of such survey.  In addition, a Party may conduct a salary survey at its own discretion in respect of FTEs and provide such survey to the other Party.  Following receipt of such survey from each Party, the Parties may agree in writing to adjust one or more of the FTE Rates.

9.2 Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights.  
9.2.1 KKC Patent Rights.  This Section 9.2 will not apply to the KKC Patent Rights over which KKC has no right to control the filing, prosecution or maintenance thereof, and, for purposes of this Section 9.2, the KKC Patent Rights over which KKC has the right to control the filing, prosecution and maintenance thereof, including those described in clauses (a) and (c) of Section 1.55, but excluding those described in clause (b) of Section 1.55, are referred to as the “KKC Managed Patent Rights.”
(a) As between KKC and AEVI, KKC, through counsel of its choosing, will control (but not be obligated to control) the prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations) and maintenance of the KKC Patent Rights in the Territory. AEVI will provide all reasonable assistance required to prosecute the KKC Patent Rights in the 
44








Territory. AEVI will have the right to review and comment upon any substantive communications received from the applicable patent offices with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights, including, but not limited to, official actions, examination reports, documents relating to patentability and/or amendment or cancellation of the claims, and documents related to patent term adjustment and patent term extension. KKC will consider all comments received from AEVI with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights and will comply with all reasonable requests. In addition, AEVI will have the right to review and comment upon any substantive communications that KKC plans to make to an applicable patent office in the Territory with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights, including, but not limited to, draft responses to official actions, draft responses to examination reports, drafts relating to amendment or cancellation of the claims, and drafts relating to patent term adjustment and/or extension. KKC will provide AEVI with a copy of each such communication or filing reasonably in advance of submitting such communication or filing to the relevant patent authority. KKC will consider all comments received from AEVI and will comply with all reasonable requests. In addition to the above, KKC will keep AEVI reasonably informed with respect to all such prosecution and maintenance activities to which KKC has access, including written communications with patent office officials, and consult with AEVI regarding such matters, including the planned abandonment of claims thereof.
(b) At AEVI’s sole cost and expense, KKC will keep AEVI reasonably informed with respect to all prosecution and maintenance activities concerning Patent Rights outside the Territory that correspond to the KKC Patent Rights.  AEVI will have the right to review any substantive communications received from the applicable patent offices with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights, including, but not limited to, official actions, examination reports, documents relating to patentability and/or amendment or cancellation of the claims, and documents related to patent term adjustment and patent term extension. In addition, AEVI will have the right to review any substantive communications that KKC plans to make to an applicable patent office outside of the Territory with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights, including, but not limited to, draft responses to official actions, draft responses to examination reports, drafts relating to amendment or cancellation of the claims, and drafts relating to patent term adjustment and/or extension.
(c) If KKC determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any KKC Managed Patent Rights, in one or more country(ies) or in the entire Territory, then KKC will provide AEVI with at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of such determination to abandon or cease maintenance (or such other longer period of time reasonably necessary to allow AEVI to assume such responsibilities). If KKC provides such a notification, then AEVI will have the right (but not the obligation), to control the prosecution and maintenance of any such KKC Managed Patent Rights in its sole discretion and at AEVI’s sole cost and expense by providing KKC with notice thereof within such sixty (60) day period.  In the event that AEVI so elects to control the prosecution and maintenance of any KKC Managed Patent Rights, then in the concerned country(ies) or in the entire Territory, as applicable, KKC will provide all reasonable assistance required to prosecute such KKC Managed Patent Rights in the concerned country(ies) or in the entire Territory, at AEVI’s sole cost and expense, including allowing AEVI to exercise all rights of KKC under the KKC In-License with LJI relevant to prosecution and maintenance of the KKC 
45








Managed Patent Rights.  KKC will have the right to review and comment upon any substantive communications and filings made by AEVI with respect to the prosecution of such KKC Managed Patent Rights before they are sent to any patent offices in the entire Territory. AEVI will provide KKC with a copy of each such communication or filing reasonably in advance of submitting such communication or filing to the relevant patent authority. With respect to all such prosecution and maintenance AEVI will keep KKC reasonably informed with respect to such activities (including by providing KKC with access to all filings and correspondence with and from any patent offices or officials upon request by KKC), and consult with KKC regarding such matters, including the abandonment of claims thereof
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 9.3.1(a)), the following terms and conditions will apply with respect to the KKC Patent Rights: (i) with respect to those KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI, LJI and KKC will have the joint right to control the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such KKC Patent Rights, including the extension of the patent term(s) of such KKC Patent Rights, and if both LJI and KKC determine in their sole discretion to abandon or not maintain such KKC Patent Rights, then AEVI will have the right, subject to Section 9.3.1(a) and the other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, to control the prosecution and maintenance of any such KKC Patent(s) and KKC will request LJI to provide all reasonable assistance required to prosecute and maintain such KKC Patent Rights; and (ii) with respect to those KKC Patent Rights jointly owned by LJI, on the one hand, and KKC and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, in the event that both KKC and AEVI determine in their sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any such KKC Patent(s), then (A) LJI will have the right to control the filing, prosecution and maintenance (including, without limitation, the extension of the patent term(s)) of such KKC Patents, and (B) all rights and licenses granted to KKC under the LJI Agreement (and therefore the sublicense to AEVI under this Agreement) in and to such KKC Patent(s) will immediately terminate.  
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that KKC does not have the right to control or participate in the prosecution or maintenance of Patent Rights under a KKC In-License, no right to prosecute or maintain such Patent Rights are granted to AEVI by this Agreement.
(f) All information, if any, exchanged between the Parties or between KKC’s outside patent counsel and AEVI regarding preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of the KKC Patent Rights will be deemed Confidential Information of KKC.  In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, with regard to such preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the KKC Patent Rights, the interests of the Parties as licensor and licensee are to obtain the strongest patent protection possible, and as such, are aligned and are legal in nature.  The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have not waived, and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of, any legal privilege concerning the KKC Patent Rights including without limitation, privilege under the common interest doctrine and similar or related doctrines.
9.2.2 Joint Inventions. With respect to any potentially patentable Joint Invention, the Parties will meet and agree upon which Party will lead (in a joint effort with the other Party) 
46








the preparation, filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) and maintenance of patent applications covering such Joint Invention (any such patent application and any patents issuing therefrom a “Joint Patent”) in any jurisdiction. Joint Patents are included within both the KKC Technology and AEVI Technology and within the licenses granted to each Party hereunder. The Party that leads prosecution of a patent application in the Joint Patents (the “Prosecuting Party”) will provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Joint Patents in the particular jurisdictions, and such other Party will provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution. The Prosecuting Party will provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the Joint Patent being prosecuted by such Party, and will provide drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority. Either Party may determine that it is no longer interested in supporting the continued prosecution or maintenance of a particular Joint Patent in a country or jurisdiction, in which case: (i) the disclaiming Party will no longer be obligated to pay any costs for filing, prosecution or maintenance thereof; (ii) the disclaiming Party will, if requested in writing by the other Party, assign its ownership interest in such Joint Patent in such country or jurisdiction to the other Party for no additional consideration and (iii) if such assignment is effected, any such Joint Patent would thereafter be deemed a patent of AEVI in the case of assignment to AEVI, or a patent of KKC in the case of assignment to KKC.
9.2.3 New Inventions. AEVI will retain ownership of, and be entitled to file patents (in its sole discretion) in its name, on all AEVI Inventions, and KKC will retain ownership of, and be entitled to file patents (in its sole discretion) in its name, on all KKC Inventions.  All the foregoing will be included in the license granted by each Party to the other Party in Article 7.  Each Party will disclose any such inventions or improvements to the other Party within ninety (90) days of filing a patent application claiming the Invention. 
9.2.4 Cooperation.  Each Party hereby agrees: (a) to make its employees, agents and consultants reasonably available to the other Party (or to the other Party’s authorized attorneys, agents or representatives), to the extent reasonably necessary to enable such Party to undertake patent prosecution as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) to cooperate, if necessary and appropriate, with the other Party in gaining patent term extensions wherever applicable to Patent Rights that are subject to this Agreement; and (c) to endeavor in good faith to coordinate its efforts with the other Party to minimize or avoid interference with the prosecution and maintenance of the other Party’s patent applications that are subject to this Agreement.  
9.2.5 Patent Costs.  The Parties will each be responsible for paying fifty percent (50%) of the costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining the KKC Patent Rights, the AEVI Patent Rights described in clause (a) of Section 1.10, and the Joint Patents, in the Territory and in the European Union.  During the Term, if KKC agrees in writing, the Parties 
47








will add to Schedule 1.10 the patents described in clauses (b) and (c) of Section 1.10, and thereafter, the costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining of each such patent will be shared by the Parties. For clarity, costs and expenses outside of the Territory and outside of the European Union will be borne solely by KKC for the KKC Patent Rights, solely by AEVI for the AEVI Patent Rights, and equally by each Party for the Joint Patents.
9.3 Enforcement of Patent Rights.
9.3.1 Notification.  Each Party will promptly report in writing to the other Party during the Term any (a) known or suspected infringement by a Third Party of any KKC Patent Rights, AEVI Patent Rights or Patent Rights covering Joint Inventions or (b) unauthorized use or misappropriation by a Third Party of any Confidential Information, including KKC Know-How or AEVI Know-How, of which it becomes aware, and will provide the other Party with all available evidence supporting such infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation.
9.3.2 Rights to Enforce.  KKC will have the right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate to: (a) stop infringing activities described in Section 9.3.1 in respect of the KKC Technology in the Territory including initiating or prosecuting an infringement or other appropriate suit or action against the alleged infringer, but not granting adequate rights and licenses necessary for continuing such activities by the alleged infringer or (b) defend the KKC Technology in the Territory against any declaratory judgment, opposition, patentability or invalidity actions (“Defensive Actions”).  KKC may request that AEVI grant such adequate rights and licenses; provided that AEVI will have no obligation to grant any such rights or licenses; and provided further that upon making such request, AEVI will have the right to participate in all negotiations with the alleged infringer concerning such adequate rights and licenses.  Before KKC takes any action to stop the infringing activity against an alleged infringer of the KKC Technology in the Territory, KKC will consult in good faith with AEVI concerning the alleged infringement, including selection of counsel, litigation strategy, litigation risks, the damage being caused to KKC and/or AEVI and any other matter relevant to enforcement of the KKC Technology against the alleged infringer in the Territory.  In particular, KKC will consider in good faith a request from AEVI to not take any actions to enforce the KKC Technology against the alleged infringer in the Territory and only take such actions, in light of such request from AEVI, if KKC is suffering material harm from the infringement in the Territory.  Subject to the provisions of the LJI Agreement, in the event that KKC elects to not take action or cease action with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights pursuant to this Section 9.3.2 with respect to the Territory, including declining or ceasing to defend Defensive Actions, KKC will so notify AEVI in writing of its intention (***) prior to any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish, preserve or maintain any enforcement rights or defend or continue to defend the Defensive Action, and, subject to Section 9.3.4, AEVI will have the right, but not the obligation, to take any such reasonable measures to stop such infringing activities by such alleged infringer or defend the Defensive Action, in which event, upon AEVI’s request, KKC will exercise its rights under the LJI Agreement to the extent necessary for the enforcement or defense of KKC Managed Patent Rights that are subject to the LJI Agreement.
48








9.3.3 Procedures; Expenses and Recoveries.  The Party having the right to initiate any infringement suit or defend a Defensive Action under Section 9.3.2 (the “Controlling Party”) will have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for and control any such suit or Defensive Action.  The expenses of the suit or the Defensive Action, including attorneys’ fees and court costs and reasonable Out-of-Pocket Costs of the other Party (the “Cooperating Party”) in rendering assistance requested by the Controlling Party (“Enforcement Expense”) will be (***).  If required under Applicable Law in order for the Controlling Party to initiate and/or maintain such suit or to defend the Defensive Action, or if either Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such suit or defend the Defensive Action solely in its own name or it is otherwise advisable to obtain an effective legal remedy, in each case, the other Party will join as a party to the suit or Defensive Action and will execute and cause its Affiliates to execute all documents necessary for the Controlling Party to initiate litigation to prosecute and maintain such action or defend the Defensive Action.  In addition, at the Controlling Party’s request, the Cooperating Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Controlling Party in connection with an infringement suit (***).  The Cooperating Party will have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense. If the Parties obtain from a Third Party, in connection with such suit, any damages, license fees, royalties or other compensation (including any amount received in settlement of such litigation) (“Recoveries”) in the Territory, such amounts will be (***).  A Cooperating Party may choose not to share the Enforcement Expense, provided however that in such case such Cooperating Party will not be entitled to receive any of the Recoveries.  For clarity, (a) KKC will offer AEVI the opportunity to fund its share of the Enforcement Expense with respect to any suit initiated by KKC in the European Union and, if AEVI elects to fund such Enforcement Expense, AEVI will be entitled to an equal share in the Recovery received in respect of any such suit, and (b) KKC will have the sole right to take action and earn all Recoveries outside of the Territory and the European Union. 
9.3.4 LJI Enforcement Rights.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event that (***), LJI will have the right but not the obligation under the LJI Agreement to bring, defend, or maintain any appropriate suit or action involving such infringement or Defensive Action at its own cost and expense against alleged infringers and to defend such KKC Patent Rights from Defensive Actions. Subject to the foregoing, if LJI finds it necessary or reasonably desirable to join AEVI and/or KKC into such suit or action, AEVI and/or KKC will execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required, and AEVI and/or KKC, at their respective options, may be represented by respective counsel(s) of their own choice, provided that (a) (***), and (b) if any amount is recovered on any such action or suit, whether by judgment or settlement (any such settlement requiring the consent of KKC), the balance of any such recovery will be paid to or retained (***) (including, for clarity, the LJI (***) set forth on Schedule 1.51) in respect of the applicable KKC Patent Right(s) and Licensed Product(s), after reimbursement for the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to such suit or action by LJI, KKC and AEVI.  
9.4 Claimed Infringement of Third Party Rights.
9.4.1 Notice.  In the event that a Third Party at any time provides written notice of a claim to, or brings an action, suit or proceeding against, any Party, or any of such Party’s 
49








respective Related Parties, claiming infringement of such Third Party’s Patent Rights or unauthorized use or misappropriation of such Third Party’s Know-How, based upon an assertion or claim arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product (each, an “Infringement Claim”), such Party will promptly notify the other Party of the Infringement Claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of the Infringement Claim and all papers served.  Each Party agrees to make available to the other Party its advice and counsel regarding the technical merits of any such claim at no cost to the other Party and to offer reasonable assistance to the other Party at no cost to the other Party.
9.4.2 Right to Defend.  AEVI will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any Infringement Claim brought against either Party or any of its Related Parties arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory.  KKC will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any Infringement Claim brought against either Party or any of its Related Parties arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product outside the Field and outside the Territory.
(a) Procedure. The Party having the obligation or first right to defend an Infringement Claim in which either Party is named as defendant will be referred to as the “Defending Party.”  The Defending Party will have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any Infringement Claim; provided that it will consult with the other Party with respect to selection of counsel for such defense.  The Defending Party will keep the other Party informed, and will from time to time consult with the other Party regarding the status of any such claims and will provide the other Party with copies of all documents filed in, and all written communications relating to, any suit brought in connection with such claims. The other Party will also have the right to participate and be represented in any such claim or related suit, at its own expense.  The other Party will have the sole and exclusive right to control the defense of an Infringement Claim in the event the Defending Party fails to exercise its right to assume such defense within (***) following written notice from the other Party of such Infringement Claim.  No Party will settle any claims or suits involving rights of another Party without obtaining the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Any recoveries by the Defending Party of attorneys’ fees or costs in defense of a claim in the Territory under this Section 9.4, and any sanctions awarded to Defending Party and against a party asserting a claim in the Territory being defended under this Section 9.4, will be (***).  The Parties will (***) be responsible for paying (***) of the costs and expenses and damages incurred by the Parties in connection with defense of such Infringement Claim in the Territory. The costs and expenses and damages incurred by the Parties in connection with defense of such Infringement Claim outside the Field or outside the Territory will be allocated between the Parties as follows: (***). AEVI and KKC will have the right to take action to invalidate Third Party’s patents which would be infringed by the activity under this Agreement. The cost and expenses of such action will be shared in the same way as set forth above.   
9.4.3 Limitations.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.10, THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY OF KKC AND MEDGENICS, AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF KKC OR 
50








MEDGENICS, AS THE CASE MAY BE, IN THE CASE OF ANY CLAIMED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY PATENT RIGHTS OR UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY THIRD PARTY’S KNOW-HOW.
9.5 Third Party Technology.  If either Party reasonably determines that any Third Party Technology is reasonably necessary for the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Field, then such Party will notify the JSC.  If the JSC determines that it needs to obtain one or more licenses from one or more Third Parties for such activities, the JSC will determine which Party will negotiate the most favorable license.  The chosen Party will obtain a license to such Third Party Technology, with the right to sublicense, in order to permit both Parties to conduct such activities.  Subject to the foregoing, the terms and conditions involved in obtaining such rights will be determined at such chosen Party’s sole discretion.  If such chosen Party elects not to obtain rights to such Third Party Technology, or is unsuccessful in obtaining such Third Party Technology, then the other Party will have the right (but not the obligation) to negotiate and obtain rights from such Third Party at its sole discretion and expense.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.5, AEVI will pay to a Third Party any and all royalties and other payments pursuant to any agreement under which a Party acquires rights to intellectual property that would otherwise block the Development and/or Commercialization of a Profit-Share Product in the Field in the Territory.  Any such payments will be included in Third Party Technology Costs and, for clarity, will be included in Allowable Expenses for the applicable Profit-Share Product.  The costs outside the Field will be borne solely by KKC, provided that such costs will be subject to royalties reduction to AEVI in accordance with Section 8.5.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any lump sum payment under any such agreement that is made with respect to a license covering countries or jurisdictions both inside and outside of the Territory, the Parties will negotiate and decide in good faith the allocation of the payment based on the scope and territory of the acquired rights.
9.6 Other Infringement Resolutions. 
9.6.1 Notice of Third Party Applications. In the event of a dispute or potential dispute that has not ripened into a demand, claim or suit of the type described in Sections 9.3 or 9.4, the same principles governing control of the resolution of the dispute, consent to settlements of the dispute, and implementation of the settlement of the dispute (including sharing in and allocating the payment or receipt of damages, license fees, royalties and other compensation) will apply.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within (***) after Regulatory Approval is achieved with respect to a BLA for a Licensed Product in the Territory (or such shorter time as the Parties agree in the case of a Licensed Product in the Territory that does not earn reference product exclusivity under the PHS Act), the Parties will consult as to potential strategies with respect to unexpired Patent Rights Controlled by either Party that potentially could be asserted if an unlicensed person engaged in the making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing into the United States of a product described in a Biosimilar Application filed by a Third Party applicant (a “Section 351(k) Applicant”).  
9.6.2 Cooperation and Enforcement. If either Party who is the reference product sponsor of the Licensed Product within the meaning of section 351(l)(1)(A) of the PHS Act 
51








(“Reference Product Sponsor”) receives notice of a Biosimilar Application filed by a Section 351(k) Applicant that references such Licensed Product and related manufacturing information in accordance with section 351(l)(2)(A) of the PHS Act or receives a notice of commercial marketing in accordance with section 351(l)(8)(A) of the PHS Act, then such Party will provide notice to the other Party, and the Parties will discuss and cooperate with each other in determining the Reference Product Sponsor’s course of action with regard to (a) engaging in the information exchange provisions of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, Section 351(k) of the Public Health Service Act, as may be amended, supplemented, or replaced (the “BPCIA”), including providing a list of patents that relate to the relevant Licensed Product, (b) engaging in the patent resolution provisions of the BPCIA, and (c) determining which patents will be the subject of immediate patent infringement action under Section 351(l)(6) of the BPCIA.  In the event that the Parties do not agree with respect to the exercise of any such rights, KKC will make the final determination with respect thereto, including without limitation with respect to (a), (b) and (c) above.  If any patent litigation commences with respect to a Biosimilar Application filed by a Section 351(k) Applicant that references such Licensed Product, then the provisions of Section 9.3 will thereafter apply as if such Section 351(k) Applicant were an infringer or suspected infringer. 
9.7 Product Trademarks.  
9.7.1 Product Trademarks in the Territory. AEVI will own the Product Trademarks for each Licensed Product in the Territory and will be solely responsible for filing and maintaining the Product Trademarks in the Territory (including payment of costs associated therewith).  AEVI hereby grants to KKC a non-exclusive, nontransferable (except as provided in Section 13.3) license, with the right to grant sublicenses solely in accordance with Section 7.4, under the Product Trademarks, to use and display the Product Trademarks in connection with Commercialization outside the Territory.
9.7.2 Product Trademarks Outside the Territory. KKC will own the Product Trademarks for each Licensed Product outside the Territory and will be solely responsible for filing and maintaining the Product Trademarks outside the Territory (including payment of costs associated therewith).  
9.7.3 Each Party agrees to (a) conduct its business in a manner that will not damage the reputation or integrity of the Trademarks of the other Party, (b) conduct its business in a manner that will not damage in any way the goodwill associated with the Trademarks of the other Party, (c) use the Trademarks of the other Party in a manner that will not cause a negative impact upon the good name of such other Party, (d) conduct its business in compliance with all applicable trademark Laws and (e) use the other Party’s Trademarks only in accordance with this Agreement.
9.8 Patent Term Extensions.  The Parties will use reasonable efforts to obtain all available supplementary protection certificates (“SPC”) and other extensions of Patent Rights.  Each Party will execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain such extensions.  The Parties will cooperate with each other in gaining patent term restorations, extensions and/or SPCs wherever applicable 
52








to Patent Rights. The Party first eligible to seek patent term restoration or extension of any such Patent Rights or any SPC related thereto will have the right to do so; provided that if in any country the first Party has an option to extend the patent term for only one of several patents, the first Party will consult with the other Party before making the election.  If more than one patent is eligible for extension or patent term restoration, KKC will select in good faith a strategy that will maximize patent protection and commercial value for each Licensed Product.  All filings for such extensions and certificates will be made by the Party to whom responsibility for prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights are assigned, provided that in the event that the Party to whom such responsibility is assigned elects not to file for an extension or SPC, such Party will (a) inform the other Party of its intention not to file and (b) grant the other Party the right to file for such extension or SPC in the patentee’s name, and (c) provide all necessary assistance in connection therewith.
9.9 Patent Marking.  AEVI (and its Related Parties) will mark Licensed Products marketed and sold by AEVI (and/or its Related Parties, as applicable) with appropriate numbers of the KKC Patent Rights printed on the appropriate portion of the packaging.  Without limiting the foregoing, AEVI shall mark each Licensed Product sold or offered for sale by or on behalf of AEVI with the patent number or numbers of any issued patents encompassed within the KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI, if applicable, and AEVI shall ensure that the content, form, location and language of such markings is in accordance with the applicable laws and practices of each jurisdiction in which the Licensed Products are made, used or sold.
Article 10.
CONFIDENTIALITY


10.1 Confidentiality.  
10.1.1 Confidential Information.  All Confidential Information disclosed by or on behalf of a Party (together with its Affiliates, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (together with its Affiliates, the “Receiving Party”) during the Term will be used by the Receiving Party solely in connection with the activities contemplated by this Agreement, will be maintained in confidence by the Receiving Party and will not otherwise be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any other person, firm, or agency, governmental or private (other than a Party’s Affiliates or as set forth in Section 10.1.2), without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except to the extent that the Confidential Information (as determined by competent documentation):
(a) was known or used by the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure prior to its date of disclosure to the receiving Party; or
(b) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure by sources other than the Disclosing Party rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information; or
(c) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party becomes published or generally known to the public (including information known to the public through 
53








the sale of products in the ordinary course of business) through no fault or omission on the part of the Receiving Party or its sublicensees; or
(d) is independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without reference to or reliance upon the Confidential Information.
All obligations of confidentiality imposed under this Article 10 will expire five (5) years following termination of this Agreement.
10.1.2 Required Disclosures. Section 10.1.1 will not preclude the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party to comply with Applicable Laws, to defend or prosecute litigation or to comply with governmental regulations, provided that the Receiving Party provides prior written notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party and takes reasonable and lawful actions to avoid and/or minimize the degree of such disclosure.  If a public disclosure is required by any Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or submission to an exchange on which any securities of a Party is listed, the disclosing Party will provide copies of the disclosure (but shall be permitted to redact or omit portions of any filing, submission or disclosure not relevant to this Agreement) reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure, for the non-disclosing Party’s prior review and comment and to allow the other Party a reasonable time to object to any such disclosure or to request confidential treatment thereof. The disclosing Party will negotiate in good faith with the applicable Regulatory Authority concerning the confidential treatment request.  If the disclosure is substantially similar to prior disclosures made by the Party and for which the obligations of this provision have been satisfied, the disclosing Party need not share such disclosure ahead of it being made.
10.1.3 Permitted Disclosures. KKC and AEVI each agree that they will provide Confidential Information received from the other Party only to their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, suppliers, sublicensees, collaborators and advisors, and to those of such Party’s Related Parties, who have a need to know for such Party’s development, manufacture, and commercialization of Licensed Products in accordance with this Agreement, including in connection with Regulatory Filings and obtaining Regulatory Approvals, provided that such Third Parties are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as strict as this Article 10.  In addition, each Party may not disclose the terms of this Agreement (to the extent such terms are confidential) to any Third Party except to actual or prospective lenders, investors, acquirers, licensees/sublicensees or strategic partners (including the KKC Licensors and AEVI Licensor) or to a Party’s accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors; provided that such disclosures will be subject to continued confidentiality obligations at least as strict as this Article 10.  
10.2 Publication Review.  
10.2.1 Publications by the Parties.  Subject to Section 10.2.2 and except as required by Applicable Law, during the Term, each Party agrees that, unless explicitly authorized  in this Agreement, it will not without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, file patent application, issue any press 
54








release, make any public announcement, or issue any scientific or other presentations or publications, with respect to the results of any Development work relating to this Agreement without the opportunity for prior review by the other Party. With respect to any such proposed publications or presentations by one of the Parties, each Party will provide to the other Party for information and review any (a) abstracts, posters and slide presentations that the Party proposes prior to any scientific meetings and the other Party will provide feedback to the publishing Party within ten (10) of its Business Days of its receipt of such abstracts, posters and slide presentations, and (b) primary and final manuscripts and review articles that the Party proposes prior to journal submission and the other Party will provide feedback within fifteen (15) of its Business Days of its receipt of such manuscript or article.  Each Party agrees, upon request from the other Party, not to submit any abstract or manuscript for publication or to make any scientific presentation until the other Party is given up to forty-five (45) days from the date of such written request to seek appropriate patent protection for any material in such publication or presentation which it reasonably believes is patentable.  Once such abstracts, manuscripts or presentations have been reviewed by the other Party and have been approved for publication, the same abstracts, manuscripts or presentations do not have to be provided again to the other Party for review for a later submission for publication.  Expedited reviews for abstracts or poster presentations may be arranged if mutually agreeable to the Parties.  The other Party also will have the right to require that its Confidential Information that may be disclosed in any such proposed publication or presentation be deleted prior to such publication or presentation. 
10.2.2 Publications by Third Parties. Notwithstanding Section 10.2.1, the Parties understand and agree that any restrictions on scientific or other presentations or publications will not be construed to prohibit the clinical investigators of any clinical trials conducted under this Agreement (including without limitation CHOP), from making scholarly publications, manuscripts, abstracts, oral presentations or other disclosures with respect to the results of any Development work, including without limitation clinical data resulting from such clinical trials (“Publications”); provided that AEVI will ensure that (a) any such clinical investigator must agree to submit to KKC for its review and comment, a copy of any proposed Publication, abstract or other disclosure resulting from such activities, simultaneous with submission of the same to AEVI and at least forty-five (45) days prior to any such presentation or publication, (b) such publication will not contain any references to, or otherwise disclose any of, the Confidential Information (other than clinical data) without KKC’s prior written consent, and (c) at KKC’s request, such clinical investigator will, for a reasonable period of up to ninety (90) days from initial delivery to KKC, delay revealing any subject matter included in the clinical data in any publication or disclosure in order to permit the filing of patent applications.
10.3 Public Announcements and Use of Names.  Except for public disclosures (a) resulting from the issuance of one or more press releases to be mutually-agreed upon by the Parties, (b) otherwise permitted under this Article 10 or (c) required by Applicable Law or by the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which a Party’s securities are traded, neither Party will disclose any publicity, news release or public announcements, written or oral, whether to the public or press, stockholders or otherwise, relating to the execution of this Agreement, the subject matter of this Agreement, any of the terms of this Agreement, or any amendment hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party.

Article 11.
TERM AND TERMINATION


11.1 Term.  This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in full force and effect for as long as any Licensed Product(s) is Commercialized by either Party and/or its Related Parties, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 11.2 or 11.3 (the “Term”).

11.2.2 Breach.  KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, at KKC’s sole discretion, subject to Section 11.2.5, upon delivery of written notice to AEVI in the event of any material breach by AEVI of this Agreement, provided that such breach has not been cured within (***) after written notice of such breach and KKC’s intention to terminate is given by KKC to AEVI; provided, however, that if such breach relates to the failure to make a payment when due, such breach must be cured within (***) after written notice thereof is given by KKC (except that in the case of a bona fide dispute over whether or to what extent a payment by AEVI to KKC is due, this Section 11.2.2 will not be triggered provided that AEVI will pay the amount in dispute into escrow until such dispute is resolved).  Such termination will be effective upon expiration of the applicable time period set forth in this Section 11.2.2.  Subject to Section 11.2.5, any such termination of this Agreement will become effective at the end of the applicable cure period, unless AEVI has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such cure period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the cure period, then, KKC’s right of termination will be suspended only if and for so long as AEVI has provided to KKC a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure within (***) thereafter and such plan is acceptable to KKC (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and AEVI commits to and carries out such plan as provided to KKC.
11.2.3 Termination as to a Country.  
(a) European Union. KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement, solely as it relates to a particular country in the European Union if AEVI fails to satisfy its obligations set forth in Section 6.1.1 with respect to such country.  
(b) Canada.  KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement, solely as it relates to Canada, if (a) the JSC unanimously decides to not proceed with Development in the 
56








Field in Canada and not to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada or (b) AEVI declines to proceed with Development in the Field in Canada and not to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada, and the JSC does not unanimously agree, in each case as set forth in Section 6.1.2.
11.2.4 Termination for Patent Challenge.  If AEVI or any of its Affiliates directly claim, or cause a Third Party to claim, or knowingly supports (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim, or in response to a subpoena or court or administrative law request or order), including by providing information, documents, and/or funding, a claim (a) to the validity, scope, enforceability or patentability of any of the KKC Patent Rights in any formal legal or administrative action or proceeding, or (b) that no Earned Royalties, Sublicense Royalties, Net Receipts, milestone payments, Patent Costs or other payments (as such capitalized terms are defined under the LJI Agreement) are due or required to be paid to LJI under the LJI Agreement because the applicable KKC Patents licensed by LJI to KKC under the LJI Agreement covering or claiming a Licensed Product are invalid or unenforceable except where such KKC Patent Rights have been found to be unpatentable, invalid or unenforceable by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, from which decision no appeal is taken or can be taken, or have been admitted or determined to be invalid or unenforceable through reissue, re-examination, disclaimer or similar formal proceeding, or where a pending application within the KKC Patent Rights has been abandoned or finally rejected (in each case, other than pursuant to a claim by KKC, AEVI or their respective Affiliates or by a Third Party caused by any of the foregoing entities) in any Challenge, then (x) if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (***) during and after the pendency of such Challenges from the date KKC, AEVI, or any of their respective Affiliates first institute or make such challenges. In such event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) AEVI will not be obligated to (***) in case such Challenges are initiated or conducted solely by or on behalf of KKC or any of its Affiliates (in which case, KKC will be responsible for (***)), and (ii) KKC will not be obligated to (***) in case such Challenges are initiated or conducted solely by or on behalf of AEVI or any of its Affiliates (in which case, AEVI will (***)).  (***) under this Section 11.2.4 (x) may be exercised at any time after AEVI (or any of its Affiliates) may have Challenged or knowingly supports (other than in response to a subpoena or court order) a Challenge to the validity, enforceability or patentability of any of the KKC Patent Rights.  If a sublicensee of AEVI Challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any of the KKC Patent Rights under which such sublicensee is sublicensed, then AEVI will, upon written notice from KKC, promptly terminate such sublicense.  “Challenge” under this Section 11.2.4 will refer to a legal action or filing with a patent authority or tribunal or a court that could, if successful, result in a holding of invalidity, unenforceability, or unpatentability of a patent or application within the KKC Patent Rights.
11.2.5 Dispute.  If AEVI reasonably and in good faith disagrees as to whether KKC has a basis for terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2.2, AEVI may contest the allegation in accordance with Section 13.2.  It is understood and acknowledged that, during the pendency of such a dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement will remain in effect, and the Parties will continue to perform all of their respective obligations under this Agreement.

11.2.6 Abandonment.  If AEVI, in its discretion, decides to abandon all of its Development and/or Commercialization efforts with respect to the Licensed Product, AEVI will promptly notify KKC in writing of its intent to do so.  KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon receipt of such notice.
11.3 Termination by AEVI.
11.3.1 Insolvency.  To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, AEVI will have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, at AEVI’s sole discretion, upon delivery of written notice to KKC upon the filing by KKC in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of the United States or any other jurisdiction a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or similar arrangement for the benefit of creditors or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of KKC or its assets, upon the proposal by KKC of a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, or if KKC is served by a Third Party (and not by AEVI) with an involuntary petition against it in any insolvency proceeding, upon the ninety-first (91st) day after such service if such involuntary petition has not previously been stayed or dismissed, or upon the making by KKC of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

Such termination will be effective upon expiration of the applicable time period set forth in this Section 11.3.2.  Subject to Section 11.3.4, any such termination of this Agreement will become effective at the end of the applicable cure period, unless KKC has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such cure period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the cure period, then, AEVI’s right of termination will be suspended only if and for so long as KKC has provided to AEVI a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure within (***) thereafter and such plan is acceptable to AEVI (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and KKC commits to and carries out such plan as provided to AEVI.
11.3.3 Convenience.  (***), such termination to be effective at the end of such notice period, AEVI may terminate this Agreement as to such Licensed Product and/or such jurisdiction for any reason or no reason, including if AEVI, in its reasonable discretion, decides 
58








to cease all of its Development and/or Commercialization efforts with respect to such Licensed Product in such jurisdiction. 
11.3.4 Dispute.  If KKC reasonably and in good faith disagrees as to whether AEVI has a basis for terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.3.2, KKC may contest the allegation in accordance with Section 13.2.

Any payments that are owed one Party to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement affected by such dispute may be paid into escrow pending resolution of the dispute, and then paid or refunded to the appropriate party as determined pursuant to Section 13.2.
11.4 Consequences of Termination.  Upon termination of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to a country in the Territory or the European Union pursuant to Section 11.2.3(a) and in case of Canada pursuant to Section 11.2.3(b) (in which event the following will apply only with respect to such country): 
11.4.1 Reversion. All rights and licenses granted to AEVI in Article 7 will terminate, all rights of AEVI under the KKC Technology will revert to KKC, and AEVI and its Affiliates will cease all use of the KKC Technology.  Except as set forth in Sections 11.4.2 through 11.4.9, all rights and licenses granted to KKC in Article 7 will terminate, all rights of KKC under the AEVI Technology will revert to AEVI, and KKC and its Affiliates will cease all use of the AEVI Technology.
11.4.2 Regulatory Filings. AEVI will assign, and hereby does assign effective as of the effective date of such termination, to KKC all Regulatory Filings (including all INDs and NDAs) and Regulatory Approvals and all other documents necessary to further Develop, Manufacture, and Commercialize the Licensed Products, as they exist as of the date of such termination, (and all of AEVI’s right, title and interest therein and thereto).  AEVI will provide to KKC one (1) copy of the foregoing documents and Regulatory Filings, all documents and filings contained in or referenced in any such Regulatory Filings, together with the raw and summarized data for any preclinical and clinical studies of the Licensed Product.  For clarity, KKC will have the right to use the foregoing material information, materials and data developed by AEVI solely in connection with KKC’s development, manufacture and commercialization of Licensed Products.  KKC will have the right to seek specific performance of AEVI’s obligations referenced in this Section 11.4.2 and/or in the event of failure to obtain assignment, AEVI hereby consents and grants to KKC the right to access and reference (without any further action required on the part of AEVI, whose authorization to file this consent with any Regulatory Authority is hereby granted) any and all such regulatory filings for any regulatory or other use or purpose. Without limiting the foregoing in this paragraph, to the extent applicable, AEVI’s obligations under this Section 11.4.2 will continue with respect to all countries in the Territory and the 
59








European Union for which there is a failure to obtain assignment of all regulatory filings and Regulatory Approvals.  
11.4.3 Know-How Transfer.  AEVI will provide to KKC all data and information generated during the Term necessary for the development and/or commercialization of the relevant Licensed Products and assign (or, if applicable, cause its Affiliate to assign) to KKC all of AEVI’s (and such Affiliate’s) entire right, title and interest in and to all such data and information.  AEVI will provide to KKC the tangible embodiments of all other Know-How Controlled by AEVI and its Affiliates in existence as of the effective date of such termination relating to the Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization of the Licensed Products, including without limitation AEVI’s manufacturing processes, techniques and trade secrets necessary for and used in the manufacture of such Licensed Products as of the effective date of such termination and all Know-How specifically relating to any composition, formulation, method of use or manufacture of such Licensed Products.  AEVI will grant, and hereby does grant effective as of the effective date of such termination, to KKC a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide right and license under such Know-How for developing, making, using, importing, selling and offering for sale Licensed Products.  AEVI will reasonably cooperate with KKC to assist KKC with understanding and using the Know How provided to KKC under this Section 11.4.3.  If AEVI has decided to abandon all of its Development and/or Commercialization efforts with respect to the Licensed Product,  and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.2.6, AEVI will provide to KKC all technology resulting from such abandoned Development and/or Commercialization efforts.

To the extent that AEVI owns any trademark(s) (including without limitation any Product Trademarks) and/or domain names that pertain specifically to an Licensed Product that KKC believes would be necessary for the Commercialization of a Licensed Product (as then currently marketed, but not including any marks that include, in whole or part, any corporate name or logo of AEVI), AEVI will assign (or, if applicable, cause its Affiliate to assign), and hereby does assign effective as of the effective date of such termination, to KKC all of AEVI’s (and such Affiliate’s) right, title and interest in and to any registered or unregistered trademark, trademark application, trade name or internet domain name in each country.

If AEVI has the capability in place as of the effective date of such termination to commercially Manufacture and supply to KKC all or part of KKC’s requirements of the applicable Licensed Products, if KKC so elects in its sole discretion, AEVI will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply to KKC (***) as much of KKC’s requirements of such Licensed Products (and to develop a reasonable inventory level) during such period, (***) for such Licensed Products, under terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed between the Parties.  If KKC, despite its best efforts, is unable to Manufacture, or to secure a supply of, such Licensed Products in an amount sufficient to meet its requirements (***), AEVI will continue to supply such Licensed Products to KKC to the extent necessary to meet KKC’s requirements, so long as KKC continues to use its best efforts to develop the capabilities necessary to Manufacture such Licensed Products and/or to secure a supply of such Licensed Products. 
11.4.7 Transfer of Manufacturing Technology. In the event, at the time of such termination, (a) AEVI manufactures the Licensed Products at its own facility, AEVI will conduct manufacturing technology transfer to KKC, and (b) if AEVI engages a Third Party to manufacture and supply the Licensed Products, AEVI will, at KKC’s election, either (i) have such Third Party conduct manufacturing technology transfer to KKC or (ii) will use reasonable efforts to assist in the transfer of such supply arrangements to KKC.
11.4.8 Continuing Obligations. Neither Party will be relieved of any obligation that accrued prior to the effective date of such termination.  All amounts due or payable to KKC that were accrued prior to the effective date of termination will remain due and payable.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no additional amounts will be payable based on events occurring after the effective date of termination; provided that the foregoing will not be deemed to limit either Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement for acts or omissions incurring prior to the effective date of such termination that are the subject of such indemnification even if the indemnification amount cannot be accrued or determined as of the effective date of such termination.

Any termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to the rights of either Party against the other accrued or accruing under this Agreement before termination.
11.7 Rights in Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by either Party, including without limitation Article 7, are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States (hereinafter “IP”).  The Parties agree that each Party, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States that provide similar protection for IP.  In the event of termination of a Party pursuant to Section 11.2.1 or 11.3.1, the terminated Party hereby grants to the other Party and its Affiliates a right to obtain possession of and to benefit from a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such IP and all embodiments of intellectual property, which, if not already in such other Party’s possession, will be promptly delivered to it upon such other Party’s written request therefor.  The term “embodiments of intellectual property” includes all tangible, electronic or other embodiments of rights and licenses hereunder, including all Licensed Products, all Regulatory Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals and rights of reference therein, and all Information related to Licensed Products, KKC Technology and 
62








AEVI Technology, as applicable.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that milestone payments made under Section 8.3 do not constitute royalties within the meaning of U.S. Bankruptcy Code §365(n) or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder.
11.8 No Limitation of Remedies.  Except as herein expressly provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, termination of this Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.  Each Party will be free, pursuant to Section 13.2, to seek (without restriction as to the number of times it may seek) damages, costs and remedies that may be available under Applicable Law or in equity and will be entitled to offset the amount of any damages and costs obtained in a final determination under Section 13.2 of monetary damages or costs (as permitted by this Agreement) against the other Party against any amounts otherwise due to such other Party under this Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that either Party will be entitled to seek specific performance as a remedy to enforce the provisions of this Article 11, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled by Applicable Law.  Nothing in this Article 11 will be deemed to limit any remedy to which either Party may be entitled by Applicable Law.

68








proceeding, whether for money or equitable relief (each, a “Third Party Claim”), arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, (a) any material breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by AEVI in this Agreement, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of AEVI or a Related Party in or pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct by or of AEVI or any of its Related Parties, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, (c) the practice by AEVI or its Affiliate or sublicensee (including a sublicensed contract manufacturer) of any license or sublicense granted to it under Article 7, and/or (d) the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Products (including product liability) by AEVI or any of its Related Parties.  This indemnification excludes Losses arising out of Third Party Infringement Claims resulting from AEVI’s exercise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of any intellectual property rights granted by KKC hereunder.  Furthermore, AEVI will have no obligation to indemnify the KKC Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from, directly or indirectly, any matter for which KKC must indemnify AEVI under this Agreement.  In addition, AEVI will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend (i) LJI and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all Losses (including costs of investigation and court costs) arising at any time from or in any manner connected with, directly or indirectly, any activity of AEVI involving the KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI or any information  furnished  under  the  LJI  Agreement,  including  the  use,  handling,  storage, distribution, containment, sale and/or disposition of any product (whether or not a Licensed Product), or provision of any service, related to or derived directly or indirectly from or using any KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI; and (ii) the KKC Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses arising out of any Third Party Claims related to, directly or indirectly, any activities performed by or on behalf of AEVI or AEVI’s Third Party contract manufacturer in connection with the exercise of rights under the KKC Technology licensed under the KKC In-License with Lonza, if, pursuant to Section 7.4.1, KKC sublicenses its rights under such KKC Technology to AEVI or AEVI’s Third Party contract manufacturer for the Manufacture of Licensed Products by AEVI or such contract manufacturer.
12.10.2 Indemnification by KKC.  KKC will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend AEVI, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“AEVI Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of any Third Party Claims arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, (a) any material breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by KKC in this Agreement, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of KKC in or pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct by or of KKC or any of its Related Parties, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, (c) the practice by KKC or its Affiliate or sublicensee of any license or sublicense granted to it under Article 7, and/or (d) the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Products (including product liability) by KKC or any of its Related Parties.

69








of KKC and its Related Parties’ activities under this Agreement and use of the AEVI Technology licensed under the AEVI In-License, and KKC agrees that the Indemnitees (as defined in Section 12.2 of the AEVI In-License) are intended third party beneficiaries of this sentence.
12.10.3 Indemnification Procedure.  In the event of any such claim against any AEVI Indemnitee or KKC Indemnitee (individually, an “Indemnitee”), the indemnified Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing of the claim and the indemnifying Party will manage and control, at its sole expense, the defense of the claim and its settlement.  The Indemnitee will cooperate with the indemnifying Party and may, at its option and expense, be represented in any such action or proceeding.  The indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlements, litigation costs or expenses incurred by any Indemnitee without the indemnifying Party’s written authorization.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnifying Party believes that any of the exceptions to its obligation of indemnification of the Indemnitees set forth in Section 12.10.1 or Section 12.10.2 may apply, the indemnifying Party will promptly notify the Indemnitees, which will then have the right to be represented in any such action or proceeding by separate counsel at their expense; provided that the indemnifying Party will be responsible for payment of such expenses if the Indemnitees are ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification from the indemnifying Party.  If the indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such claim as described in this Section 12.10.3, above, the Indemnitee may defend such claim but will have no obligation to do so.  The defending Party will not settle or compromise such claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, and will not settle or compromise such claim in any manner which would have an adverse effect on such other Party’s interests, without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent, in each case, will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  
12.10.4 Insurance.  Each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder.  Such insurance will be in such amounts and subject to such deductibles as the Parties may agree based upon standards prevailing in the industry at the time in order to fulfill the obligation under Section 12.10.1 or 12.10.2, including, but not limited to, the indemnification against any Losses involving any actual or alleged death or bodily injury arising out of or resulting from the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product.

70








for review.  If the dispute cannot be resolved despite such escalation, then the matter will be referred to the Executive Officers to be resolved by negotiation in good faith as soon as is practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after referral.

The Party initiating the arbitration proceeding will appoint its arbitrator within ten (10) days following service of the demand for arbitration to the other Party, who will in turn appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receiving service of the demand.  The two appointed arbitrators will agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date of the appointment by the parties of the second arbitrator.  If either Party or their appointees fail to appoint an arbitrator within the specified time period, the ICC will exercise its powers pursuant to Article 9 of the ICC Rules of Arbitration to appoint such arbitrator.  The ICC’s appointment will be binding on the Parties.  Each arbitrator will be an attorney in good standing in the Bar of New York and experienced in commercial disputes involving pharmaceutical companies.  Time is of the essence of this arbitration procedure, and KKC and AEVI will instruct the arbitrators to render their decision within ninety (90) days of the arbitration’s completion.  The cost of the arbitration (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne as the arbitrators will decide; otherwise such costs (including, without limitation, the prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne by the Party against which the judgment of the arbitrator is to be enforced.
13.3 Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the consent 
71








of the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) KKC may monetize the value of its payments under this Agreement by assigning to a Third Party the right to receive payments and the right to receive payment reports from AEVI; provided that KKC gives thirty (30) days prior written notice to AEVI, and (b) either Party may, without the other Party’s consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate (but subject to the consent of CHOP in respect of the AEVI Technology licensed under the AEVI In-License in the case of assignment by KKC) or pursuant to a Change of Control (but subject to the consent of Sanofi, to the extent required under Applicable Law, in respect of the KKC Technology licensed under the KKC In-License with Sanofi in the case of assignment by AEVI).  The assigning Party will remain responsible for the performance by its assignee of this Agreement or any obligations hereunder so assigned to such assignee.
13.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, except that Article 1 through 10 of the Clinical Development and Option Agreement will govern with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Date.  Any amendment or modification to this Agreement will be made in writing signed by both Parties.

13.8 Independent Contractors.  It is understood and agreed that the relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors and that nothing in this Agreement will be construed as authorization for either KKC or AEVI to act as agent for the other.  Nothing herein contained will be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties or any of their agents or employees for any purpose, including tax purposes, or to create any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party.  Neither Party will have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

13.10 No Strict Construction.  This Agreement has been prepared jointly and will not be strictly construed against either Party.
13.11 Performance by Affiliates. Each Party recognizes that the other Party may perform some or all of its obligations under this Agreement through Affiliates to the extent permitted under this Agreement; provided, however, that such other Party will remain responsible for the performance by its Affiliates as if such obligations were performed by such other Party. 
13.12 Construction.  Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular will include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender will be applicable to all genders.  The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement.  The term “including” as used herein means including, without limiting the generality of any description that precedes such term, and will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “but not limited to,” “without limitation” or words of similar import regardless of whether such words are actually written there (and drawing no implication from the actual inclusion of such phrase in some instances after the word “including” but not others).  References to “Article”, “Articles”, “Section”, Sections”, “Exhibit” or “Exhibits” are references to the numbered Article(s), Section(s), or lettered Exhibit(s) of this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise.  Except where the context otherwise requires, (a) references to a particular law, rule or regulation mean such law, rule or regulation as in effect 
74








as of the relevant time, including all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor law, rule or regulation in effect as of the relevant time, and including the then-current amendments thereto; (b) the word “or” has the inclusive meaning that is typically associated with the phrase “and/or”; (c) whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number will refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified, and if a period of time is specified and dates from a given day or Business Day, or the day or Business Day of an act or event, it is to be calculated exclusive of that day or Business Day; (d) references to a particular person or entity include such person’s or entity’s successors and assigns to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement; (e) a capitalized term not defined herein but reflecting a different part of speech than a capitalized term which is defined herein will be interpreted in a correlative manner; and (f) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this Agreement (including any Exhibits).
13.13 No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative.  No failure on the part of KKC or AEVI to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, will impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
13.14 Severability.  If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the Parties will substitute, by mutual consent, valid provisions for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions, which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement with such valid provisions.  In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of one (1) or several provisions of this Agreement will not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
13.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly set forth in Section 12.10.2, no person or entity other than AEVI, KKC and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder will be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the filing of a Regulatory Approval 
23










Application with the EMA is considered a filing of a Regulatory Approval Application in all countries of the European Union.
6.1.2 Canada. With respect to Canada, the Parties will discuss Development of a Licensed Product in the Field in Canada at an appropriate time after Development of the Licensed Product for the initial indication in the Field in the Territory and the European Union is substantially advanced.  Such discussion should take place no later than when AEVI decides to file the first Regulatory Approval Application for the Licensed Products in the Field in the United States, following the data readout of the Phase 3 Clinical Trial.  If the Parties unanimously agree not to proceed with the Development of a Licensed Product in the Field in Canada and not to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada, then AEVI will not be required to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop a Licensed Product and to obtain Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada.  If AEVI elects not to proceed with the Development of a Licensed Product in the Field in Canada and not to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada, and KKC does not agree to the foregoing, then KKC may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2.3 solely with respect to Canada, and AEVI will not be required to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to Develop a Licensed Product in the Field in Canada and to obtain Regulatory Approvals for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada.

In the event that AEVI’s Net Sales of Licensed Products in a country in the Territory experience a Significant Impact as a result of KKC or any of its Related Parties commercializing Licensed Product in the Territory, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to increase the Territory Royalty Rate for such country to offset the Significant Impact, which Territory Royalty Rate will not exceed (***) in any country.
8.5.2 Third Party License Offsets. If KKC enters into an agreement with a Third Party (other than a KKC Licensor) to obtain a license under Third Party Technology (including without limitation under Section 9.5) that KKC reasonably believes or expects to be necessary to Commercialize one or more Licensed Products outside the Territory or outside of the Field, then KKC may offset (***) of the amount of commercially reasonable royalties or other payments payable by KKC to such Third Party with respect to a particular Licensed Product against amounts KKC is obligated to pay AEVI under Section 8.5.1 for Royalty-Bearing Sales by KKC and/or its Affiliates and Sublicensing Royalties, provided that in no event will any such offset (a) with respect to sales in the Field outside of the Territory, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(a) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties in the Field outside of the Territory, (b) with respect to sales outside the Field outside of the Territory, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(b) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties outside the Field outside of the Territory, or (c) with respect to sales in the Territory, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(c) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties in the Territory; provided further that, if such (***) offset of such Third Party royalties or other payments exceeds the amount of payments withheld by KKC under this Section 8.5.2 in any Contract Quarter, the excess may be carried over as a credit on the same basis into succeeding Contract Quarters.  
8.5.3 Claimed Infringement of Third Party Rights Offsets.  If costs and expenses and damages are incurred by the Parties in connection with the defense of an Infringement Claim outside the Field or outside the Territory pursuant to Section 9.4, then KKC may offset (***) of such costs and expenses and damages with respect to a particular Licensed Product against amounts KKC is obligated to pay AEVI under Sections 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 on sales of such Licensed Product, provided that in no event will any such offset (a) with respect to sales in the Field outside of the Territory, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(a) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties in the Field outside of the Territory, (b) with respect to sales outside the Field outside of the Territory, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(b) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties outside the Field outside of the Territory, or (c) with respect to sales in the Territory, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(c) in particular Contract Years below (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties in the Territory; provided further that, if such (***) offset of such costs and expenses and damages incurred by the Parties exceeds the amount

8.5.4 Royalty Reduction for Biosimilars.  
(a) If a Biosimilar version(s) of any Licensed Product is commercialized in any country in which there are Royalty-Bearing Sales, then the royalty rate payable to AEVI pursuant to Sections 8.5.1, 8.5.2 and 8.5.3 applicable for the sale of Licensed Products in such country will be reduced by (i) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country, (ii) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country, (iii) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country, (iv) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country; and (v) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is (***) in such country.  For clarity, the reduction in royalty rates permitted pursuant to this Section 8.5.4 will be taken after any reduction taken pursuant to Section 8.5.2 and Section 8.5.3.  For the avoidance of doubt, each of the minimum KKC Territory Royalty Rate and the minimum Other Royalty Rate will be (***) and the minimum Territory Royalty Rate (on a country-by-country basis) will be no less than (***) of the Territory Royalty Rate (on a country-by-country basis) then in-effect prior to the adjustments permitted by this Section 8.5.4; provided that, if such reduction permitted under this Section 8.5.4 exceeds the amount of payments withheld by KKC under this Section 8.5.4 in any Contract Quarter, the excess may be carried over as a credit on the same basis into succeeding Contract Quarters.  
(b) The Parties will utilize a mutually-agreed (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) measure of the market share of any relevant Biosimilars in each country where a Biosimilar version(s) of a Licensed Product is being commercialized and will adjust the royalty rate payable to AEVI for the sale of Licensed Products in such country every six (6) months, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 8.5.4(a).  If the royalty rate payable to AEVI for the sale of Licensed Products has been adjusted pursuant to Section 8.5.4(a), then such royalty rates in such country may not thereafter be adjusted upwards.  
8.5.5 Reports and Royalty Payments.  Within (***) after the end of each Contract Quarter during the Term, KKC will deliver to AEVI a report setting forth for the previous Contract Quarter the following information on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis: (a) the gross sales and Royalty-Bearing Sales of each Licensed Product, (b) the number of units sold by KKC or its Affiliate, (c) the Sublicensing Royalty received by KKC, (d) the basis for any adjustments to the royalty payable for the sale of each Licensed Product, (e) the royalty due hereunder for the sales of each Licensed Product, and (f) the applicable exchange rate as determined pursuant to Section 8.6.2.  The total royalty due for the sale of Licensed Products during such Contract Quarter will be remitted at the time such report is made but no later than (***) after the end of each Contract Quarter during the Term.  
31










Along with such reports, KKC will also provide the Sales Tracking Methodologies used to determine Royalty-Bearing Sales outside the Field in the Territory.  
8.6 Payment Provisions Generally.
8.6.1 Taxes and Withholding.  If Applicable Laws require withholding of income taxes or other taxes imposed upon payments set forth in Article 8, the paying Party will make such withholding payments as required and subtract such withholding payments from the payments set forth in Article 8.  The paying Party will submit appropriate proof of payment of the withholding taxes to the payee Party within a reasonable period of time.  At the request of the payee Party, the paying Party will, at the payee Party’s cost, give the payee Party such reasonable assistance, which will include the provision of appropriate certificates of such deductions made together with other supporting documentation as may be required by the relevant tax authority, to enable the payee Party to claim exemption from such withholding or other tax imposed or obtain a repayment thereof or reduction thereof and will upon request provide such additional documentation from time to time as is reasonably required to confirm the payment of tax. 
8.6.2 Payment and Currency Exchange.  All amounts payable and calculations hereunder will be in United States dollars and will be paid by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as may be designated in writing by the payee Party from time to time.  Whenever for the purposes of calculating the Profit or royalties payable under Section 8.4 or 8.5, conversion from any foreign currency will be required, all amounts will first be calculated in the currency in which the activity was paid or sale was recorded and then converted into United States dollars by applying the rate of exchange quoted in the New York edition of The Wall Street Journal on the last Business Day of the paying Party of the applicable Contract Quarter.  
8.6.3 Overdue Payments.  If any payment due under this Agreement (other than payments that are the subject of a good faith dispute between the Parties) is overdue by more than thirty (30) days, the paying Party will pay interest to the payee Party at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the prime rate of interest, as reported by New York edition of The Wall Street Journal on the last Business Day of the paying Party of the applicable Contract Quarter, or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the number of days such payments are paid after the date such payments are due.
8.6.4 Financial Matters Relating to Existing In-Licenses.
(a) All amounts payable in respect of Profit-Share Products under the KKC In-Licenses will be paid directly by KKC or its Related Parties to the KKC Licensor, AEVI will reimburse KKC such amounts as defined in Section 1.87(a), and any such amounts reimbursed by AEVI will be treated as Allowable Expenses.
(b) All amounts payable in respect of Profit-Share Products under AEVI In-Licenses will be paid directly by AEVI or its Related Parties to the applicable AEVI Licensor and such amounts as defined in Section 1.87(b) will be treated as Allowable Expenses to the extent paid by AEVI or any of its Related Parties.  All amounts required to be paid pursuant to 
32










Section 6.4.1 of the AEVI In-License as a direct result of sales of any Licensed Product sold by KKC or its Related Parties will be paid and borne solely by KKC and its Related Parties.  In addition, all amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.4.2 of the AEVI In-License as a direct result of sales of any diagnostic sold by KKC or its Related Parties will be paid and borne solely by KKC and its Related Parties and will not be a part of Third Party Technology Costs described in Section 1.87(b).  For  avoidance of doubt, all amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.4.2 of the AEVI In-License as a direct result of sales of any diagnostic sold by AEVI or its Related Parties will be paid and borne solely by AEVI and its Related Parties and will not be a part of Third Party Technology Costs described in Section 1.87(b).
(c) (***), for the supply of the Licensed Product, and the entry into such contract triggers any payment obligation by KKC to Lonza, then AEVI will reimburse KKC (***), provided that any such reimbursement obligations of AEVI will not exceed (***).  Such payment to Lonza will be first payable within (***) of signature of a manufacturing agreement with such Third Party or grant of sublicense to such contract manufacturer and will continue for the duration of such manufacture by such Third Party or sublicense.  No payment made by AEVI under this Section 8.6.4(c) will be included in Allowable Expenses.  
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.6.4(c), if AEVI has entered into the AEVI Lonza License Agreement prior to the Effective Date, AEVI may deduct (***) from the initial license fee and milestone payments payable to KKC by AEVI under Sections 8.1 and 8.3, (***).  
(e) If AEVI has entered into the AEVI Lonza License Agreement prior to the Effective Date and AEVI has an obligation to pay an annual fee to Lonza pursuant to such agreement for conducting the process development or Manufacture of the Licensed Product using a contract manufacturer that is not Lonza, as between the Parties, AEVI will (***).  For clarity, no portion of (***) will be subject to the deduction set forth in Section 8.6.4(d) or will be included in Allowable Expenses.  
8.6.5 Record-Keeping.  Each Party will keep, and will cause their respective Related Parties to keep, books and accounts of record in connection this Agreement in sufficient detail to permit accurate determination of all figures necessary for any and all financial calculations required by this Agreement, including without limitation all elements of Allowable Expense, Developments Costs, Net Sales, Royalty-Bearing Sales, and Profit.  Each Party will maintain, and will cause their respective Related Parties to maintain, such records for a period of at least five (5) years after the end of the Contract Year in which they were generated.
8.6.6 Audits.  Upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from a Party (the “Requesting Party”), the Party receiving the written notice (the “Audited Party”) will permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by the Requesting Party and reasonably acceptable to the Audited Party, to examine, at the Requesting Party’s sole expense, the relevant books and records of the Audited Party and its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to verify the amounts reporting or payable by the Audited Party to the Requesting Party.  An examination by a Requesting Party under this Section 8.6.6 will occur not more than once in any Contract Year and will be limited to the pertinent books and records 
33










for any Contract Year ended not more than five (5) years before the date of the request.  The accounting firm will be provided access to such books and records at the Audited Party’s facility(ies) where such books and records are normally kept and such examination will be conducted during the Audited Party’s normal business hours.  The Audited Party may require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement before providing the accounting firm access to the Audited Party’s facilities or records.  Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm will provide both the Audited Party and the Requesting Party a written report disclosing any discrepancies in the reports submitted by the Audited Party or, as applicable, the amounts payable under this Agreement, and in each case, the specific details concerning any discrepancies.  No other information will be provided to the Requesting Party.
8.6.7 Underpayments/Overpayments.  If such accounting firm concludes that additional amounts were due to the Requesting Party, the Audited Party will make such payments as is necessary for the Requesting Party to have been paid the correct amount due under this Agreement for the audited periods.  If such underpayment exceeds five percent (5%) of the amounts that were to be paid, the Audited Party also will reimburse the Requesting Party for all Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred in conducting the audit.  If such accounting firm correctly concludes that the Audited Party overpaid amounts due to the Requesting Party, the Requesting Party will refund such overpayments to the Audited Party within sixty (60) days of the date the Requesting Party receives such accountant’s report so correctly concluding. 
8.6.8 Confidentiality.  All financial information of a Party that is subject to review under this Section 8.6 will be deemed to be Confidential Information of such Audited Party subject to the provisions of Article 10, and the Requesting Party will not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than verifying payments to be made by the Audited Party to the Requesting Party hereunder.
8.7 Adjustment of FTE Rates.  Effective upon each anniversary of the Effective Date, the FTE Rates will increase by the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics during the most recent preceding one (1) year period for which final data is available, and such increase will be effective for the then-current and all subsequent FTE Costs hereunder unless and until further modified under this Section 8.7.  In addition, within sixty (60) days after the third anniversary of the Effective Date and every three (3) years thereafter, each Party will have the right to require the other Party to conduct a salary survey in respect of FTEs and provide the result of such survey.  In addition, a Party may conduct a salary survey at its own discretion in respect of FTEs and provide such survey to the other Party.

other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority.  Either Party may determine that it is no longer interested in supporting the continued prosecution or maintenance of a particular Joint Patent in a country or jurisdiction, in which case: (i) the disclaiming Party will no longer be obligated to pay any costs for filing, prosecution or maintenance thereof; (ii) the disclaiming Party will, if requested in writing by the other Party, assign its ownership interest in such Joint Patent in such country or jurisdiction to the other Party for no additional consideration and (iii) if such assignment is effected, any such Joint Patent would thereafter be deemed a patent of AEVI in the case of assignment to AEVI, or a patent of KKC in the case of assignment to KKC.
9.2.3 New Inventions. AEVI will retain ownership of, and be entitled to file patents (in its sole discretion) in its name, on all AEVI Inventions, and KKC will retain ownership of, and be entitled to file patents (in its sole discretion) in its name, on all KKC Inventions.  All the foregoing will be included in the license granted by each Party to the other Party in Article 7.  Each Party will disclose any such inventions or improvements to the other Party within (***) of filing a patent application claiming the Invention. 
9.2.4 Cooperation.  Each Party hereby agrees: (a) to make its employees, agents and consultants reasonably available to the other Party (or to the other Party’s authorized attorneys, agents or representatives), to the extent reasonably necessary to enable such Party to undertake patent prosecution as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) to cooperate, if necessary and appropriate, with the other Party in gaining patent term extensions wherever applicable to Patent Rights that are subject to this Agreement; and (c) to endeavor in good faith to coordinate its efforts with the other Party to minimize or avoid interference with the prosecution and maintenance of the other Party’s patent applications that are subject to this Agreement.  
9.2.5 Patent Costs.  KKC will bear all of the costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining the KKC Patent Rights, and AEVI will bear all of the costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining the AEVI Patent Rights described in clause (a) of Section 1.10.  The costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Joint Patents shall be borne solely by AEVI for costs and expenses incurred inside the Territory, and shall be borne solely by KKC for costs and expenses incurred outside the Territory.  For clarity, costs and expenses outside of the Territory will be borne solely by KKC for the KKC Patent Rights and solely by AEVI for the AEVI Patent Rights.
9.3 Enforcement of Patent Rights
.
9.3.1 Notification.  Each Party will promptly report in writing to the other Party during the Term any (a) known or suspected infringement by a Third Party of any KKC Patent Rights, AEVI Patent Rights or Patent Rights covering Joint Inventions or (b) unauthorized use or misappropriation by a Third Party of any Confidential Information, including KKC Know-How or AEVI Know-How, of which it becomes aware, and will provide the other Party with all available evidence supporting such infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation.

9.3.2 Rights to Enforce.  KKC will have the right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate to: (a) stop infringing activities described in Section 9.3.1 in respect of the KKC Technology in the Territory including initiating or prosecuting an infringement or other appropriate suit or action against the alleged infringer, but not granting adequate rights and licenses necessary for continuing such activities by the alleged infringer or (b) defend the KKC Technology in the Territory against any declaratory judgment, opposition, patentability or invalidity actions (“Defensive Actions”).  KKC may request that AEVI grant such adequate rights and licenses; provided that AEVI will have no obligation to grant any such rights or licenses; and provided further that upon making such request, AEVI will have the right to participate in all negotiations with the alleged infringer concerning such adequate rights and licenses.  Before KKC takes any action to stop the infringing activity against an alleged infringer of the KKC Technology in the Territory, KKC will consult in good faith with AEVI concerning the alleged infringement, including selection of counsel, litigation strategy, litigation risks, the damage being caused to KKC and/or AEVI and any other matter relevant to enforcement of the KKC Technology against the alleged infringer in the Territory.  In particular, KKC will consider in good faith a request from AEVI to not take any actions to enforce the KKC Technology against the alleged infringer in the Territory and only take such actions, in light of such request from AEVI, if KKC is suffering material harm from the infringement in the Territory.  Subject to the provisions of the LJI Agreement, in the event that KKC elects to not take action or cease action with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights pursuant to this Section 9.3.2 with respect to the Territory, including declining or ceasing to defend Defensive Actions, KKC will so notify AEVI in writing of its intention (***) prior to any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish, preserve or maintain any enforcement rights or defend or continue to defend the Defensive Action, and, subject to Section 9.3.4, AEVI will have the right, but not the obligation, to take any such reasonable measures to stop such infringing activities by such alleged infringer or defend the Defensive Action, in which event, upon AEVI’s request, KKC will exercise its rights under the LJI Agreement to the extent necessary for the enforcement or defense of KKC Managed Patent Rights that are subject to the LJI Agreement.
9.3.3 Procedures; Expenses and Recoveries.  The Party having the right to initiate any infringement suit or defend a Defensive Action under Section 9.3.2 (the “Controlling Party”) will have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for and control any such suit or Defensive Action.  The expenses of the suit or the Defensive Action, including attorneys’ fees and court costs and the reasonable Out-of-Pocket Costs the other Party (the “Cooperating Party”) in rendering assistance requested by the Controlling Party (“Enforcement Expense”), will be borne (***).  If required under Applicable Law in order for the Controlling Party to initiate and/or maintain such suit or to defend the Defensive Action, or if either Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such suit or defend the Defensive Action solely in its own name or it is otherwise advisable to obtain an effective legal remedy, in each case, the other Party will join as a party to the suit or Defensive Action and will execute and cause its Affiliates to execute all documents necessary for the Controlling Party to initiate litigation to prosecute and maintain such action or defend the Defensive Action.  In addition, at the Controlling Party’s request, the Cooperating Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Controlling Party in connection with an infringement suit (***).  The Cooperating Party will have the right to participate and be 
39










represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense.  If the Parties obtain from a Third Party, in connection with such suit, any damages, license fees, royalties or other compensation (including any amount received in settlement of such litigation) (“Recoveries”) in the Territory, such amounts will be allocated as follows:
(***).
KKC will have the sole right to take action and earn all Recoveries outside of the Territory. 
9.3.4 LJI Enforcement Rights.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event that (***), LJI will have the right but not the obligation under the LJI Agreement to bring, defend, or maintain any appropriate suit or action involving such infringement or Defensive Action at its own cost and expense against alleged infringers and to defend such KKC Patent Rights from Defensive Actions. Subject to the foregoing, if LJI finds it necessary or reasonably desirable to join AEVI and/or KKC into such suit or action, AEVI and/or KKC will execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required, and AEVI and/or KKC, at their respective options, may be represented by respective counsel(s) of their own choice, provided that (a) (***), and (b) if any amount is recovered on any such action or suit, whether by judgment or settlement (any such settlement requiring the consent of KKC), the balance of any such recovery will be paid to or retained (***) (including, for clarity, the LJI (***) set forth on Schedule 1.50) in respect of the applicable KKC Patent Right(s) and Licensed Product(s), after reimbursement for the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to such suit or action by LJI, KKC and AEVI. 
9.4 Claimed Infringement of Third Party Rights.
9.4.1 Notice.  In the event that a Third Party at any time provides written notice of a claim to, or brings an action, suit or proceeding against, any Party, or any of such Party’s respective Related Parties, claiming infringement of such Third Party’s Patent Rights or unauthorized use or misappropriation of such Third Party’s Know-How, based upon an assertion or claim arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product (each, an “Infringement Claim”), such Party will promptly notify the other Party of the Infringement Claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of the Infringement Claim and all papers served.  Each Party agrees to make available to the other Party its advice and counsel regarding the technical merits of any such claim at no cost to the other Party and to offer reasonable assistance to the other Party at no cost to the other Party.
9.4.2 Right to Defend.  AEVI will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any Infringement Claim brought against either Party or any of its Related Parties arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory.  KKC will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any Infringement Claim brought against either Party or any of its Related Parties arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product outside the Field and/or outside the Territory.
40










(a) Procedure. The Party having the obligation or first right to defend an Infringement Claim in which either Party is named as defendant will be referred to as the “Defending Party.”  The Defending Party will have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any Infringement Claim; provided that it will consult with the other Party with respect to selection of counsel for such defense.  The Defending Party will keep the other Party informed, and will from time to time consult with the other Party regarding the status of any such claims and will provide the other Party with copies of all documents filed in, and all written communications relating to, any suit brought in connection with such claims. The other Party will also have the right to participate and be represented in any such claim or related suit, at its own expense.  The other Party will have the sole and exclusive right to control the defense of an Infringement Claim in the event the Defending Party fails to exercise its right to assume such defense within (***) following written notice from the other Party of such Infringement Claim.  No Party will settle any claims or suits involving rights of another Party without obtaining the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Any recoveries by the Defending Party of attorneys’ fees or costs in defense of a claim in the Territory under this Section 9.4, and any sanctions awarded to Defending Party and against a party asserting a claim in the Territory being defended under this Section 9.4, will be (***).  The costs and expenses and damages incurred by the Parties in connection with defense of such Infringement Claim in the Territory will be treated as Allowable Expense in the Territory. The costs and expenses and damages incurred by the Parties in connection with defense of such Infringement Claim outside the Field or outside the Territory will be allocated between the Parties as follows: (***). AEVI and KKC will have the right to take action to invalidate Third Party’s patents which would be infringed by the activity under this Agreement. The cost and expenses of such action will be shared in the same way as set forth above. 
9.4.3 Limitations.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.10, THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY OF KKC AND AEVI, AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF KKC OR AEVI, AS THE CASE MAY BE, IN THE CASE OF ANY CLAIMED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY PATENT RIGHTS OR UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY THIRD PARTY’S KNOW-HOW.
9.5 Third Party Technology.  If either Party reasonably determines that any Third Party Technology is reasonably necessary for the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Field, then such Party will notify the other Party.  The Parties will determine which Party will negotiate the most favorable license.  The chosen Party will obtain a license to such Third Party Technology with the right to sublicense to the other Party.  Subject to the foregoing, the terms and conditions involved in obtaining such rights will be determined at such chosen Party’s sole discretion.  If such chosen Party elects not to obtain rights to such Third Party Technology, or is unsuccessful in obtaining such Third Party Technology, then the other Party will have the right (but not the obligation) to negotiate and obtain rights from such Third Party at its sole discretion and expense.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.5, AEVI will pay to a Third Party any and all royalties and other payments pursuant to any agreement under which a Party acquires rights to intellectual property that would otherwise block the Development and/or Commercialization of a Profit-Share Product in the Field in the 
41










Territory.  Any such payments will be included in Third Party Technology Costs and, for clarity, will be included in Allowable Expenses for the applicable Profit-Share Product.  The costs outside the Field will be borne solely by KKC, provided that such costs will be subject to royalties reduction to AEVI in accordance with Section 8.5.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any lump sum payment under any such agreement that is made with respect to a license covering countries or jurisdictions both inside and outside of the Territory, the Parties will negotiate and decide in good faith the allocation of the payment based on the scope and territory of the acquired rights.
9.6 Other Infringement Resolutions. 
9.6.1 Notice of Third Party Applications. In the event of a dispute or potential dispute that has not ripened into a demand, claim or suit of the type described in Sections 9.3 or 9.4, the same principles governing control of the resolution of the dispute, consent to settlements of the dispute, and implementation of the settlement of the dispute (including sharing in and allocating the payment or receipt of damages, license fees, royalties and other compensation) will apply.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within (***) after Regulatory Approval is achieved with respect to a BLA for a Licensed Product in the Territory (or such shorter time as the Parties agree in the case of a Licensed Product in the Territory that does not earn reference product exclusivity under the PHS Act), the Parties will consult as to potential strategies with respect to unexpired Patent Rights Controlled by either Party that potentially could be asserted if an unlicensed person engaged in the making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing into the United States of a product described in a Biosimilar Application filed by a Third Party applicant (a “Section 351(k) Applicant”).  
9.6.2 Cooperation and Enforcement. If either Party who is the reference product sponsor of the Licensed Product within the meaning of section 351(l)(1)(A) of the PHS Act (“Reference Product Sponsor”) receives notice of a Biosimilar Application filed by a Section 351(k) Applicant that references such Licensed Product and related manufacturing information in accordance with section 351(l)(2)(A) of the PHS Act or receives a notice of commercial marketing in accordance with section 351(l)(8)(A) of the PHS Act, then such Party will provide notice to the other Party, and the Parties will discuss and cooperate with each other in determining the Reference Product Sponsor’s course of action with regard to (a) engaging in the information exchange provisions of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, Section 351(k) of the Public Health Service Act, as may be amended, supplemented, or replaced (the “BPCIA”), including providing a list of patents that relate to the relevant Licensed Product, (b) engaging in the patent resolution provisions of the BPCIA, and (c) determining which patents will be the subject of immediate patent infringement action under Section 351(l)(6) of the BPCIA.  In the event that the Parties do not agree with respect to the exercise of any such rights, KKC will make the final determination with respect thereto, including without limitation with respect to (a), (b) and (c) above.  If any patent litigation commences with respect to a Biosimilar Application filed by a Section 351(k) Applicant that references such Licensed Product, then the provisions of Section 9.3 will thereafter apply as if such Section 351(k) Applicant were an infringer or suspected infringer. 
42










9.7 Product Trademarks.  
9.7.1 Product Trademarks in the Territory. AEVI will own the Product Trademarks for each Licensed Product in the Territory and will be solely responsible for filing and maintaining the Product Trademarks in the Territory (including payment of costs associated therewith).  AEVI hereby grants to KKC a non-exclusive, nontransferable (except as provided in Section 13.3) license, with the right to grant sublicenses solely in accordance with Section 7.4, under the Product Trademarks, to use and display the Product Trademarks in connection with Commercialization outside the Territory.
9.7.2 Product Trademarks Outside the Territory. KKC will own the Product Trademarks for each Licensed Product outside the Territory and will be solely responsible for filing and maintaining the Product Trademarks outside the Territory (including payment of costs associated therewith).  
9.7.3 Each Party agrees to (a) conduct its business in a manner that will not damage the reputation or integrity of the Trademarks of the other Party, (b) conduct its business in a manner that will not damage in any way the goodwill associated with the Trademarks of the other Party, (c) use the Trademarks of the other Party in a manner that will not cause a negative impact upon the good name of such other Party, (d) conduct its business in compliance with all applicable trademark Laws and (e) use the other Party’s Trademarks only in accordance with this Agreement.
9.8 Patent Term Extensions.  The Parties will use reasonable efforts to obtain all available supplementary protection certificates (“SPC”) and other extensions of Patent Rights.  Each Party will execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain such extensions.  The Parties will cooperate with each other in gaining patent term restorations, extensions and/or SPCs wherever applicable to Patent Rights. The Party first eligible to seek patent term restoration or extension of any such Patent Rights or any SPC related thereto will have the right to do so; provided that if in any country the first Party has an option to extend the patent term for only one of several patents, the first Party will consult with the other Party before making the election.  If more than one patent is eligible for extension or patent term restoration, KKC will select in good faith a strategy that will maximize patent protection and commercial value for each Licensed Product.  All filings for such extensions and certificates will be made by the Party to whom responsibility for prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights are assigned, provided that in the event that the Party to whom such responsibility is assigned elects not to file for an extension or SPC, such Party will (a) inform the other Party of its intention not to file and (b) grant the other Party the right to file for such extension or SPC in the patentee’s name, and (c) provide all necessary assistance in connection therewith.
9.9 Patent Marking.  AEVI (and its Related Parties) will mark Licensed Products marketed and sold by AEVI (and/or its Related Parties, as applicable) with appropriate numbers of the KKC Patent Rights printed on the appropriate portion of the packaging.  Without limiting the foregoing, AEVI shall mark each Licensed Product sold or offered for sale by or on behalf of AEVI with the patent number or numbers of any issued patents encompassed within the KKC 
43










Patent Rights solely owned by LJI, if applicable, and AEVI shall ensure that the content, form, location and language of such markings is in accordance with the applicable laws and practices of each jurisdiction in which the Licensed Products are made, used or sold.
Article 10.
CONFIDENTIALITY


10.1 Confidentiality.  
10.1.1 Confidential Information.  All Confidential Information disclosed by or on behalf of a Party (together with its Affiliates, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (together with its Affiliates, the “Receiving Party”) during the Term will be used by the Receiving Party solely in connection with the activities contemplated by this Agreement, will be maintained in confidence by the Receiving Party and will not otherwise be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any other person, firm, or agency, governmental or private (other than a Party’s Affiliates or as set forth in Section 10.1.2), without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except to the extent that the Confidential Information (as determined by competent documentation):
(a) was known or used by the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure prior to its date of disclosure to the receiving Party; or
(b) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure by sources other than the Disclosing Party rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information; or
(c) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party becomes published or generally known to the public (including information known to the public through the sale of products in the ordinary course of business) through no fault or omission on the part of the Receiving Party or its sublicensees; or
(d) is independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without reference to or reliance upon the Confidential Information.
All obligations of confidentiality imposed under this Article 10 will expire five (5) years following termination of this Agreement.
10.1.2 Required Disclosures. Section 10.1.1 will not preclude the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party to comply with Applicable Laws, to defend or prosecute litigation or to comply with governmental regulations, provided that the Receiving Party provides prior written notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party and takes reasonable and lawful actions to avoid and/or minimize the degree of such disclosure.  If a public disclosure is required by any Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or submission to an exchange on which any securities of a Party is listed, the disclosing Party will provide copies of the disclosure (but shall be permitted to redact or omit portions of any filing, submission or disclosure not relevant to this Agreement) 
44










reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure, for the non-disclosing Party’s prior review and comment and to allow the other Party a reasonable time to object to any such disclosure or to request confidential treatment thereof. The disclosing Party will negotiate in good faith with the applicable Regulatory Authority concerning the confidential treatment request.  If the disclosure is substantially similar to prior disclosures made by the Party and for which the obligations of this provision have been satisfied, the disclosing Party need not share such disclosure ahead of it being made.
10.1.3 Permitted Disclosures. KKC and AEVI each agree that they will provide Confidential Information received from the other Party only to their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, suppliers, sublicensees, collaborators and advisors, and to those of such Party’s Related Parties, who have a need to know for such Party’s development, manufacture, and commercialization of Licensed Products in accordance with this Agreement, including in connection with Regulatory Filings and obtaining Regulatory Approvals, provided that such Third Parties are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as strict as this Article 10.  In addition, each Party may not disclose the terms of this Agreement (to the extent such terms are confidential) to any Third Party except to actual or prospective lenders, investors, acquirers, licensees/sublicensees or strategic partners (including the KKC Licensors and AEVI Licensor) or to a Party’s accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors; provided that such disclosures will be subject to continued confidentiality obligations at least as strict as this Article 10.  
10.2 Publication Review.  
10.2.1 Publications by the Parties.  Subject to Section 10.2.2 and except as required by Applicable Law, during the Term, each Party agrees that, unless explicitly authorized  in this Agreement, it will not without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, file patent application, issue any press release, make any public announcement, or issue any scientific or other presentations or publications, with respect to the results of any Development work relating to this Agreement without the opportunity for prior review by the other Party. With respect to any such proposed publications or presentations by one of the Parties, each Party will provide to the other Party for information and review any (a) abstracts, posters and slide presentations that the Party proposes prior to any scientific meetings and the other Party will provide feedback to the publishing Party within ten (10) of its Business Days of its receipt of such abstracts, posters and slide presentations, and (b) primary and final manuscripts and review articles that the Party proposes prior to journal submission and the other Party will provide feedback within fifteen (15) of its Business Days of its receipt of such manuscript or article.  Each Party agrees, upon request from the other Party, not to submit any abstract or manuscript for publication or to make any scientific presentation until the other Party is given up to forty-five (45) days from the date of such written request to seek appropriate patent protection for any material in such publication or presentation which it reasonably believes is patentable.  Once such abstracts, manuscripts or presentations have been reviewed by the other Party and have been approved for publication, the same abstracts, manuscripts or presentations do not have to be provided again to the other Party for review for a later submission for publication.  Expedited reviews for abstracts or poster presentations may be arranged if mutually agreeable to the Parties.  The other Party also will 
45










have the right to require that its Confidential Information that may be disclosed in any such proposed publication or presentation be deleted prior to such publication or presentation. 
10.2.2 Publications by Third Parties. Notwithstanding Section 10.2.1, the Parties understand and agree that any restrictions on scientific or other presentations or publications will not be construed to prohibit the clinical investigators of any clinical trials conducted under this Agreement (including without limitation CHOP), from making scholarly publications, manuscripts, abstracts, oral presentations or other disclosures with respect to the results of any Development work, including without limitation clinical data resulting from such clinical trials (“Publications”); provided that AEVI will ensure that (a) any such clinical investigator must agree to submit to KKC for its review and comment, a copy of any proposed Publication, abstract or other disclosure resulting from such activities, simultaneous with submission of the same to AEVI and at least forty-five (45) days prior to any such presentation or publication, (b) such publication will not contain any references to, or otherwise disclose any of, the Confidential Information (other than clinical data) without KKC’s prior written consent, and (c) at KKC’s request, such clinical investigator will, for a reasonable period of up to ninety (90) days from initial delivery to KKC, delay revealing any subject matter included in the clinical data in any publication or disclosure in order to permit the filing of patent applications.
10.3 Public Announcements and Use of Names.  Except for public disclosures (a) resulting from the issuance of one or more press releases to be mutually-agreed upon by the Parties, (b) otherwise permitted under this Article 10 or (c) required by Applicable Law or by the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which a Party’s securities are traded, neither Party will disclose any publicity, news release or public announcements, written or oral, whether to the public or press, stockholders or otherwise, relating to the execution of this Agreement, the subject matter of this Agreement, any of the terms of this Agreement, or any amendment hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party.
Article 11.
TERM AND TERMINATION


11.1 Term.  This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will remain in full force and effect for as long as any Licensed Product(s) is Commercialized by either Party and/or its Related Parties, unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 11.2 or 11.3 (the “Term”).  
11.2 Termination by KKC.  
11.2.1 Insolvency.  To the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, at KKC’s sole discretion, upon delivery of written notice to AEVI upon the filing by AEVI in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of the United States or any other jurisdiction a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or similar arrangement for the benefit of creditors or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of AEVI or its assets, upon the proposal by AEVI of a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, or if AEVI is served by a Third Party (and not by KKC) with an involuntary petition against it in any insolvency proceeding, upon the ninety-first (91st) 
46










day after such service if such involuntary petition has not previously been stayed or dismissed, or upon the making by AEVI of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors.
11.2.2 Breach.  KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, at KKC’s sole discretion, subject to Section 11.2.5, upon delivery of written notice to AEVI in the event of any material breach by AEVI of this Agreement, provided that such breach has not been cured within (***) after written notice of such breach and KKC’s intention to terminate is given by KKC to AEVI; provided, however, that if such breach relates to the failure to make a payment when due, such breach must be cured within (***) after written notice thereof is given by KKC (except that in the case of a bona fide dispute over whether or to what extent a payment by AEVI to KKC is due, this Section 11.2.2 will not be triggered provided that AEVI will pay the amount in dispute into escrow until such dispute is resolved).  Such termination will be effective upon expiration of the applicable time period set forth in this Section 11.2.2.  Subject to Section 11.2.5, any such termination of this Agreement will become effective at the end of the applicable cure period, unless AEVI has cured any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such cure period, or, if such breach is not susceptible to cure within the cure period, then, KKC’s right of termination will be suspended only if and for so long as AEVI has provided to KKC a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure within (***) thereafter and such plan is acceptable to KKC (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), and AEVI commits to and carries out such plan as provided to KKC.
11.2.3 Termination as to a Country.  
(a) European Union. KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement, solely in the European Union if AEVI fails to satisfy its obligations set forth in Section 6.1.1 with respect to the European Union or Section 6.2 with respect to the EU5 Countries.  
(b) Canada.  KKC will have the right to terminate this Agreement, solely as it relates to Canada, if (a) both Parties decide to not proceed with Development in the Field in Canada and not to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada, (b) AEVI declines to proceed with Development in the Field in Canada and not to obtain Regulatory Approval for the Licensed Product in the Field in Canada, and the Parties do not agree, in each case as set forth in Section 6.1.2, or (c) if AEVI fails to satisfy its obligations set forth in Section 6.2 with respect to Canada.
11.2.4 Termination for Patent Challenge.  If AEVI or any of its Affiliates directly claim, or cause a Third Party to claim, or knowingly supports (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim, or in response to a subpoena or court or administrative law request or order), including by providing information, documents, and/or funding, a claim (a) to the validity, scope, enforceability or patentability of any of the KKC Patent Rights in any formal legal or administrative action or proceeding, or (b) that no Earned Royalties, Sublicense Royalties, Net Receipts, milestone payments, Patent Costs or other payments (as such capitalized terms are defined under the LJI Agreement) are due or required to be paid to LJI under the LJI Agreement because the applicable KKC Patents licensed by LJI to KKC under the LJI Agreement covering or claiming a Licensed Product are invalid or unenforceable except where such KKC Patent Rights have been found to be unpatentable, invalid 
47










or unenforceable by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, from which decision no appeal is taken or can be taken, or have been admitted or determined to be invalid or unenforceable through reissue, re-examination, disclaimer or similar formal proceeding, or where a pending application within the KKC Patent Rights has been abandoned or finally rejected (in each case, other than pursuant to a claim by KKC, AEVI or their respective Affiliates or by a Third Party caused by any of the foregoing entities) in any Challenge, then (x) if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (***) during and after the pendency of such Challenges from the date KKC, AEVI, or any of their respective Affiliates first institute or make such challenges. In such event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) AEVI will not be obligated to (***) in case such Challenges are initiated or conducted solely by or on behalf of KKC or any of its Affiliates (in which case, KKC will be responsible for (***)), and (ii) KKC will not be obligated to (***) in case such Challenges are initiated or conducted solely by or on behalf of AEVI or any of its Affiliates (in which case, AEVI will (***)).  KKC’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.2.4 (x) may be exercised at any time after AEVI (or any of its Affiliates) may have Challenged or knowingly supports (other than in response to a subpoena or court order) a Challenge to the validity, enforceability or patentability of any of the KKC Patent Rights.  If a sublicensee of AEVI Challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any of the KKC Patent Rights under which such sublicensee is sublicensed, then AEVI will, upon written notice from KKC, promptly terminate such sublicense.  “Challenge” under this Section 11.2.4 will refer to a legal action or filing with a patent authority or tribunal or a court that could, if successful, result in a holding of invalidity, unenforceability, or unpatentability of a patent or application within the KKC Patent Rights.

Any termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to the rights of either Party against the other accrued or accruing under this Agreement before termination.
11.7 Rights in Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by either Party, including without limitation Article 7, are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States (hereinafter “IP”).  The Parties agree that each Party, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States that provide similar protection for IP.  In the event of termination of a Party pursuant to Section 11.2.1 or 11.3.1, the terminated Party hereby grants to the other Party and its Affiliates a right to obtain possession of and to benefit from a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such IP and all embodiments of intellectual property, which, if not already in such other Party’s possession, will be promptly delivered to it upon such other Party’s written request therefor.  The term “embodiments of intellectual property” includes all tangible, electronic or other embodiments of rights and licenses hereunder, including all Licensed Products, all Regulatory Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals and rights of reference therein, and all Information related to Licensed Products, KKC Technology and AEVI Technology, as applicable.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that milestone payments made under Section 8.3 do not constitute royalties within the meaning of U.S. Bankruptcy Code §365(n) or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder.
11.8 No Limitation of Remedies.  Except as herein expressly provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, termination of this Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.  Each Party will be free, pursuant to Section 13.2, 
53










to seek (without restriction as to the number of times it may seek) damages, costs and remedies that may be available under Applicable Law or in equity and will be entitled to offset the amount of any damages and costs obtained in a final determination under Section 13.2 of monetary damages or costs (as permitted by this Agreement) against the other Party against any amounts otherwise due to such other Party under this Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that either Party will be entitled to seek specific performance as a remedy to enforce the provisions of this Article 11, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled by Applicable Law.  Nothing in this Article 11 will be deemed to limit any remedy to which either Party may be entitled by Applicable Law.

AEVI will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend KKC, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“KKC Indemnitees”) from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, costs (including without limitation reasonable legal expenses, costs of litigation and reasonable attorney’s fees) or judgments of any kind (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of any Third Party claim, suit or proceeding, whether for money or equitable relief (each, a “Third Party Claim”), arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, (a) any material breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by AEVI in this Agreement, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of AEVI or a Related Party in or pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct by or of AEVI or any of its Related Parties, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, (c) the practice by AEVI or its Affiliate or sublicensee (including a sublicensed contract manufacturer) of any license or sublicense granted to it under Article 7, and/or (d) the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Products (including product liability) by AEVI or any of its Related Parties.  This indemnification excludes Losses arising out of Third Party Infringement Claims resulting from AEVI’s exercise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of any intellectual property rights granted by KKC hereunder.  Furthermore, AEVI will have no obligation to indemnify the KKC Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from, directly or indirectly, 
59










any matter for which KKC must indemnify AEVI under this Agreement.  In addition, AEVI will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend (i) LJI and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all Losses (including costs of investigation and court costs) arising at any time from or in any manner connected with, directly or indirectly, any activity of AEVI involving the KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI or any information  furnished  under  the  LJI  Agreement,  including  the  use,  handling,  storage, distribution, containment, sale and/or disposition of any product (whether or not a Licensed Product), or provision of any service, related to or derived directly or indirectly from or using any KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI; and (ii) the KKC Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses arising out of any Third Party Claims related to, directly or indirectly, any activities performed by or on behalf of AEVI or AEVI’s Third Party contract manufacturer in connection with the exercise of rights under the KKC Technology licensed under the KKC In-License with Lonza, if, pursuant to Section 7.4.1, KKC sublicenses its rights under such KKC Technology to AEVI or AEVI’s Third Party contract manufacturer for the Manufacture of Licensed Products by AEVI or such contract manufacturer.
12.10.2 Indemnification by KKC.  KKC will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend AEVI, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“AEVI Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of any Third Party Claims arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, (a) any material breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by KKC in this Agreement, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of KKC in or pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct by or of KKC or any of its Related Parties, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, (c) the practice by KKC or its Affiliate or sublicensee of any license or sublicense granted to it under Article 7, and/or (d) the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Products (including product liability) by KKC or any of its Related Parties.  This indemnification excludes Losses arising out of Third Party Infringement Claims resulting from KKC’s exercise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of any intellectual property rights granted by AEVI hereunder.  Furthermore, KKC will have no obligation to indemnify the AEVI Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from, directly or indirectly, any matter for which AEVI must indemnify KKC.  In addition, KKC shall be bound by Section 12.2 of the AEVI In-License in the capacity of “Licensee” in respect of KKC and its Related Parties’ activities under this Agreement and use of the AEVI Technology licensed under the AEVI In-License, and KKC agrees that the Indemnitees (as defined in Section 12.2 of the AEVI In-License) are intended third party beneficiaries of this sentence.
12.10.3 Indemnification Procedure.  In the event of any such claim against any AEVI Indemnitee or KKC Indemnitee (individually, an “Indemnitee”), the indemnified Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing of the claim and the indemnifying Party will manage and control, at its sole expense, the defense of the claim and its settlement.  The Indemnitee will cooperate with the indemnifying Party and may, at its option and expense, be represented in any such action or proceeding.  The indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlements, litigation costs or expenses incurred by any Indemnitee without the indemnifying Party’s written authorization.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnifying Party believes that any of the exceptions to its obligation of indemnification of the Indemnitees set forth in 
60










Section 12.10.1 or Section 12.10.2 may apply, the indemnifying Party will promptly notify the Indemnitees, which will then have the right to be represented in any such action or proceeding by separate counsel at their expense; provided that the indemnifying Party will be responsible for payment of such expenses if the Indemnitees are ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification from the indemnifying Party.  If the indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such claim as described in this Section 12.10.3, above, the Indemnitee may defend such claim but will have no obligation to do so.  The defending Party will not settle or compromise such claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, and will not settle or compromise such claim in any manner which would have an adverse effect on such other Party’s interests, without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent, in each case, will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  
12.10.4 Insurance.  Each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder.  Such insurance will be in such amounts and subject to such deductibles as the Parties may agree based upon standards prevailing in the industry at the time in order to fulfill the obligation under Section 12.10.1 or 12.10.2, including, but not limited to, the indemnification against any Losses involving any actual or alleged death or bodily injury arising out of or resulting from the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product. 
Article 13.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


13.1 Governing Law.  This Agreement will be construed and the respective rights of the Parties determined according to the substantive laws of the State of New York, New York, U.S.A., notwithstanding the provisions governing conflict of laws of any jurisdiction to the contrary.
13.2 Dispute Resolution.  
13.2.1 With respect to any disputes between the Parties concerning this Agreement, the dispute will be submitted to escalating levels of AEVI and KKC senior management for review.  If the dispute cannot be resolved despite such escalation, then the matter will be referred to the Executive Officers to be resolved by negotiation in good faith as soon as is practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after referral.  Such resolution, if any, by the Executive Officers will be final and binding on the Parties.  If the Executive Officers are unable to resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) day period, each Party may submit such dispute for arbitration pursuant to Section 13.2.2.
13.2.2 Arbitration.
(a) If any dispute will arise between KKC and AEVI in connection with or relating to this Agreement, then such dispute will be resolved exclusively by and through an arbitration proceeding to be conducted under the auspices of, and pursuant to, the Commercial Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (together with any successor organization thereto, the “ICC”) in New York, New York, U.S.A.  Such arbitration proceeding will be conducted in the 
61










English language applying the law provided in Section 13.1 and in such an expedited manner as is then permitted by the ICC’s commercial arbitration rules.  The Parties also agree to take reasonable discovery, with reasonableness to be determined by the arbitrators.  Each of the foregoing agreements to arbitrate all disputes and the results, determinations, findings, judgments and awards rendered through such arbitration will be final, non-appealable and legally binding on KKC and AEVI and may be entered and enforced by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.2, a Party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Any arbitration proceeding will be initiated by written notice from either KKC or AEVI to the other Party.  The arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators.  Each of KKC and AEVI will have the right to select one (1) arbitrator.  The third arbitrator will be selected by the mutual agreement of the arbitrators appointed by the Parties.  The Party initiating the arbitration proceeding will appoint its arbitrator within ten (10) days following service of the demand for arbitration to the other Party, who will in turn appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receiving service of the demand.  The two appointed arbitrators will agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date of the appointment by the parties of the second arbitrator.  If either Party or their appointees fail to appoint an arbitrator within the specified time period, the ICC will exercise its powers pursuant to Article 9 of the ICC Rules of Arbitration to appoint such arbitrator.  The ICC’s appointment will be binding on the Parties.  Each arbitrator will be an attorney in good standing in the Bar of New York and experienced in commercial disputes involving pharmaceutical companies.  Time is of the essence of this arbitration procedure, and KKC and AEVI will instruct the arbitrators to render their decision within ninety (90) days of the arbitration’s completion.  The cost of the arbitration (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne as the arbitrators will decide; otherwise such costs (including, without limitation, the prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne by the Party against which the judgment of the arbitrator is to be enforced.
13.3 Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the consent of the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) KKC may monetize the value of its payments under this Agreement by assigning to a Third Party the right to receive payments and the right to receive payment reports from AEVI; provided that KKC gives thirty (30) days prior written notice to AEVI, and (b) either Party may, without the other Party’s consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate (but subject to the consent of CHOP in respect of the AEVI Technology licensed under the AEVI In-License in the case of assignment by KKC) or pursuant to a Change of Control (but subject to the consent of Sanofi, to the extent required under Applicable Law, in respect of the KKC Technology licensed under the KKC In-License with Sanofi in the case of assignment by AEVI).  The assigning Party will remain responsible for the performance by its assignee of this Agreement or any obligations hereunder so assigned to such assignee.
13.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to 
62










the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, except that Article 1 through 10 of the Clinical Development and Option Agreement will govern with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Date.

13.8 Independent Contractors.  It is understood and agreed that the relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors and that nothing in this Agreement will be construed as authorization for either KKC or AEVI to act as agent for the other.  Nothing herein contained will be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties or any of their agents or employees for any purpose, including tax purposes, or to create any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party.  Neither Party will have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

13.11 Performance by Affiliates.

64










13.12 Construction.  Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular will include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender will be applicable to all genders.  The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement.  The term “including” as used herein means including, without limiting the generality of any description that precedes such term, and will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “but not limited to,” “without limitation” or words of similar import regardless of whether such words are actually written there (and drawing no implication from the actual inclusion of such phrase in some instances after the word “including” but not others).  References to “Article”, “Articles”, “Section”, Sections”, “Exhibit” or “Exhibits” are references to the numbered Article(s), Section(s), or lettered Exhibit(s) of this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise.  Except where the context otherwise requires, (a) references to a particular law, rule or regulation mean such law, rule or regulation as in effect as of the relevant time, including all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor law, rule or regulation in effect as of the relevant time, and including the then-current amendments thereto; (b) the word “or” has the inclusive meaning that is typically associated with the phrase “and/or”; (c) whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number will refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified, and if a period of time is specified and dates from a given day or Business Day, or the day or Business Day of an act or event, it is to be calculated exclusive of that day or Business Day; (d) references to a particular person or entity include such person’s or entity’s successors and assigns to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement; (e) a capitalized term not defined herein but reflecting a different part of speech than a capitalized term which is defined herein will be interpreted in a correlative manner; and (f) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this Agreement (including any Exhibits).
13.13 No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative.  No failure on the part of KKC or AEVI to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, will impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
13.14 Severability.  If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the Parties will substitute, by mutual consent, valid provisions for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions, which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement with such valid provisions.  In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of one (1) or several provisions of this Agreement will not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
65










13.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly set forth in Section 12.10.2, no person or entity other than AEVI, KKC and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder will be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

(b) Development Costs will not include any Manufacturing-related development costs, including but not limited to the process and analytical method developments, the comparability studies, stability program, process characterization and validation, method qualifications and validations, or the cost incurred in connection with the Manufacture of clinical supplies of Licensed Product for Development in the Territory, which costs will be borne solely by AEVI pursuant to Section 4.3.2, and, for clarity, none of such costs will be included in Allowable Expenses.  All payments made by a Party to a Third Party in connection with the performance of its activities under the applicable Development Plan will be charged as Development Costs at such Party’s actual Out-of-Pocket Costs.  
8.3 Milestones.

Section 8.3.1 with respect to the re-occurrence of the same milestone, whether or not such re-occurrence is with respect to a different or the same Licensed Product. 
8.4 Sharing of Profit.
8.4.1 Allocation. Profit will be allocated (***) to AEVI and (***) to KKC.
8.4.2 Reconciliation. From and after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory, the Parties will conduct a quarterly reconciliation of Profit as follows:
(a) Within (***) after the end of each Contract Quarter, AEVI will submit to KKC a preliminary written report setting forth the following information, estimated where necessary, revenues and expenses included in Profit for Profit-Share Products for the first two (2) months of such Contract Quarter, including, as applicable:
(i) all sales in units and in Net Sales value of such Profit-Share Products in the Territory made by AEVI and its Related Parties during such two (2) month period, together with an accounting of the itemized deductions from gross invoice price to Net Sales;
(ii) all Profit-Share Product Proceeds for Profit-Share Products received from Third Parties in the Territory during such two (2) month period;
(iii) the relevant Allowable Expenses incurred by AEVI or its Affiliates with respect to such Profit-Share Products during such two (2) month period; and

(b) Within (***) after the end of each Contract Quarter, AEVI will submit to KKC a final written report setting forth, as applicable:
(i) all sales in units and in Net Sales value of Profit-Share Products in the Territory made by AEVI and its Related Parties during such Contract Quarter, together with an accounting of the itemized deductions from gross invoice price to Net Sales;
(ii) all Profit-Share Product Proceeds for Profit-Share Products received from Third Parties in the Territory during such Contract Quarter; and
(iii) the relevant Allowable Expenses incurred by AEVI or its Affiliates with respect to Profit-Share Products during such Contract Quarter.
8.4.3 Tax Reporting. Together with the report submitted by AEVI pursuant to Section 8.4.2(b), AEVI will submit to KKC the calculation of Profit, the amount of any taxes required to be withheld and the calculation of the net amount owed by AEVI to KKC in order to ensure the sharing of Profit set forth in Section 8.4.1 and the proper allocation of withholding 
26








taxes pursuant to Section 8.6.1.  The net amount payable with respect to Profit, after appropriate adjustment for any withholding taxes, will be paid by AEVI within (***) following receipt of invoice for such amount. 
8.4.4 Supporting Documents. In addition to providing the information set forth in Section 8.4.2, AEVI will provide reasonable supporting documentation of Allowable Expenses included in the calculation of Profit.
8.5 KKC Royalties. 
8.5.1 Royalty Percentages.  During the Term, but subject to any applicable offsets contained herein, KKC will pay to AEVI royalties on Royalty-Bearing Sales or Sublicensing Royalties, as applicable, on a country-by-country basis, subject to any applicable offsets or reductions pursuant to Section 8.5.2, 8.5.3, and/or 8.5.4, at the rate of (a) (***) of Royalty-Bearing Sales by KKC and/or its Affiliates outside of the Field in the Territory and Sublicensing Royalties resulting from sales outside of the Field in the Territory.  In the event that AEVI’s Net Sales of Licensed Products in a country in the Territory experience a Significant Impact as a result of KKC or any of its Related Parties commercializing Licensed Product in the Territory, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to increase the royalty rate under this Section 8.5.1 for such country to offset the Significant Impact, which royalty rate will not exceed (***) in any country.  For the avoidance of doubt, if (a) either the Plan A License Agreement or the Plan B License Agreement become effective and (b) this Agreement (i.e. Plan C License Agreement as defined in the Clinical Development and Option Agreement) becomes effective, KKC will only pay royalties to AEVI under this Agreement and not under the other License Agreement.
8.5.2 Third Party License Offsets. If KKC enters into an agreement with a Third Party (other than a KKC Licensor) to obtain a license under Third Party Technology (including without limitation under Section 9.5) that KKC reasonably believes or expects to be necessary to Commercialize one or more Licensed Products outside of the Field, then KKC may offset (***) of the amount of commercially reasonable royalties or other payments payable by KKC to such Third Party with respect to a particular Licensed Product against amounts KKC is obligated to pay AEVI under Section 8.5.1 for Royalty-Bearing Sales by KKC and/or its Affiliates and Sublicensing Royalties, provided that in no event will any such reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1 in particular Contract Years below (***) of the royalties otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1; provided further that, if such (***) offset of such Third Party royalties or other payments exceeds the amount of payments withheld by KKC under this Section 8.5.2 in any Contract Quarter, the excess may be carried over as a credit on the same basis into succeeding Contract Quarters.  
8.5.3 Claimed Infringement of Third Party Rights Offsets.  If costs and expenses and damages are incurred by the Parties in connection with the defense of an Infringement Claim outside the Field pursuant to Section 9.4, then KKC may offset (***) of such costs and expenses and damages with respect to a particular Licensed Product against amounts KKC is obligated to pay AEVI under Sections 8.5.1 and 8.5.2 on sales of such Licensed Product, provided that in no event will any such offset (a)  with respect to sales outside the Field, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1(b) in particular Contract Years below (***) of 
27








Royalty-Bearing Sales and Sublicensing Royalties outside the Field outside of the Territory, or (b) with respect to sales in the Territory, reduce the payments otherwise due to AEVI pursuant to Section 8.5.1 in particular Contract Years below (***) of the amounts otherwise due under Section 8.5.1; provided further that, if such (***) offset of such costs and expenses and damages incurred by the Parties exceeds the amount of payments withheld by KKC under this Section 8.5.3 in any Contract Quarter, the excess may be carried over as a credit on the same basis into succeeding Contract Quarters. 
8.5.4 Royalty Reduction for Biosimilars.  
(a) If a Biosimilar version(s) of any Licensed Product is commercialized in any country in which there are Royalty-Bearing Sales, then the royalty rate payable to AEVI pursuant to Sections 8.5.1, 8.5.2 and 8.5.3 applicable for the sale of Licensed Products in such country will be reduced by (i) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is at least (***) in such country, (ii) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is at least (***) in such country, (iii) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is at least (***) in such country, (iv) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is at least (***) in such country; and (v) (***) applicable for the first Contract Quarter during which the market share of such Biosimilars is at least (***) in such country.  For clarity, the reduction in royalty rates permitted pursuant to this Section 8.5.4 will be taken after any reduction taken pursuant to Section 8.5.2 and Section 8.5.3.  For the avoidance of doubt, the minimum royalty under Section 8.5.1 (on a country-by-country basis) will be no less than (***) of the royalty otherwise due under Section 8.5.1 prior to the adjustments permitted by this Section 8.5.4; provided that, if such reduction permitted under this Section 8.5.4 exceeds the amount of payments withheld by KKC under this Section 8.5.4 in any Contract Quarter, the excess may be carried over as a credit on the same basis into succeeding Contract Quarters.
(b) The Parties will utilize a mutually-agreed (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) measure of the market share of any relevant Biosimilars in each country where a Biosimilar version(s) of a Licensed Product is being commercialized and will adjust the royalty rate payable to AEVI for the sale of Licensed Products in such country every six (6) months, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 8.5.4(a).  If the royalty rate payable to AEVI for the sale of Licensed Products has been adjusted pursuant to Section 8.5.4(a), then such royalty rates in such country may not thereafter be adjusted upwards.  
8.5.5 Reports and Royalty Payments.  Within (***) after the end of each Contract Quarter during the Term, KKC will deliver to AEVI a report setting forth for the previous Contract Quarter the following information on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product and country-by-country basis: (a) the gross sales and Royalty-Bearing Sales of each Licensed Product, (b) the number of units sold by KKC or its Affiliate, (c) the Sublicensing Royalty received by KKC, (d) the basis for any adjustments to the royalty payable for the sale of each Licensed Product, (e) the royalty due hereunder for the sales of each Licensed Product, and (f) 
28








the applicable exchange rate as determined pursuant to Section 8.6.2.  The total royalty due for the sale of Licensed Products during such Contract Quarter will be remitted at the time such report is made but no later than (***) after the end of each Contract Quarter during the Term.  Along with such reports, KKC will also provide the Sales Tracking Methodologies used to determine Royalty-Bearing Sales outside the Field in the Territory.  
8.6 Payment Provisions Generally.
8.6.1 Taxes and Withholding.  If Applicable Laws require withholding of income taxes or other taxes imposed upon payments set forth in Article 8, the paying Party will make such withholding payments as required and subtract such withholding payments from the payments set forth in Article 8.  The paying Party will submit appropriate proof of payment of the withholding taxes to the payee Party within a reasonable period of time.  At the request of the payee Party, the paying Party will, at the payee Party’s cost, give the payee Party such reasonable assistance, which will include the provision of appropriate certificates of such deductions made together with other supporting documentation as may be required by the relevant tax authority, to enable the payee Party to claim exemption from such withholding or other tax imposed or obtain a repayment thereof or reduction thereof and will upon request provide such additional documentation from time to time as is reasonably required to confirm the payment of tax. 
8.6.2 Payment and Currency Exchange.  All amounts payable and calculations hereunder will be in United States dollars and will be paid by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account as may be designated in writing by the payee Party from time to time.  Whenever for the purposes of calculating the Profit or royalties payable under Section 8.4 or 8.5, conversion from any foreign currency will be required, all amounts will first be calculated in the currency in which the activity was paid or sale was recorded and then converted into United States dollars by applying the rate of exchange quoted in the New York edition of The Wall Street Journal on the last Business Day of the paying Party of the applicable Contract Quarter.  
8.6.3 Overdue Payments.  If any payment due under this Agreement (other than payments that are the subject of a good faith dispute between the Parties) is overdue by more than thirty (30) days, the paying Party will pay interest to the payee Party at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the prime rate of interest, as reported by New York edition of The Wall Street Journal on the last Business Day of the paying Party of the applicable Contract Quarter, or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, calculated on the number of days such payments are paid after the date such payments are due.
8.6.4 Financial Matters Relating to Existing In-Licenses.
(a) All amounts payable in respect of Profit-Share Products under the KKC In-Licenses will be paid directly by KKC or its Related Parties to the KKC Licensor, AEVI will reimburse KKC such amounts as defined in Section 1.85(a), and any such amounts reimbursed by AEVI will be treated as Allowable Expenses.
29








(b) (***), for the supply of the Licensed Product, and the entry into such contract triggers any payment obligation by KKC to Lonza, then AEVI will reimburse KKC any and all such payments that KKC makes to Lonza, provided that any such reimbursement obligations of AEVI will not exceed (***).  Such payment to Lonza will be first payable within (***) of signature of a manufacturing agreement with such Third Party or grant of sublicense to such contract manufacturer and will continue for the duration of such manufacture by such Third Party or sublicense.  No payment made by AEVI under this Section 8.6.4(b) will be included in Allowable Expenses.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.6.4(b), if AEVI has entered into the AEVI Lonza License Agreement prior to the Effective Date, AEVI may deduct (***) of the upfront payments (but not annual fees) and milestone payments made by AEVI to Lonza pursuant to such agreement from the initial license fee and milestone payments payable to KKC by AEVI under Sections 8.1 and 8.3, (***).   
(d) If AEVI has entered into the AEVI Lonza License Agreement prior to the Effective Date and AEVI has an obligation to pay an annual fee to Lonza pursuant to such agreement for conducting the process development or Manufacture of the Licensed Product using a contract manufacturer that is not Lonza, as between the Parties, AEVI will (***).  For clarity, no portion of (***) will be subject to the deduction set forth in Section 8.6.4(c) or will be included in Allowable Expenses.  
8.6.5 Record-Keeping.  Each Party will keep, and will cause their respective Related Parties to keep, books and accounts of record in connection this Agreement in sufficient detail to permit accurate determination of all figures necessary for any and all financial calculations required by this Agreement, including without limitation all elements of Allowable Expense, Developments Costs, Net Sales, Royalty-Bearing Sales, and Profit.  Each Party will maintain, and will cause their respective Related Parties to maintain, such records for a period of at least five (5) years after the end of the Contract Year in which they were generated.
8.6.6 Audits.  Upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from a Party (the “Requesting Party”), the Party receiving the written notice (the “Audited Party”) will permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by the Requesting Party and reasonably acceptable to the Audited Party, to examine, at the Requesting Party’s sole expense, the relevant books and records of the Audited Party and its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary to verify the amounts reporting or payable by the Audited Party to the Requesting Party.  An examination by a Requesting Party under this Section 8.6.6 will occur not more than once in any Contract Year and will be limited to the pertinent books and records for any Contract Year ended not more than five (5) years before the date of the request.  The accounting firm will be provided access to such books and records at the Audited Party’s facility(ies) where such books and records are normally kept and such examination will be conducted during the Audited Party’s normal business hours.  The Audited Party may require the accounting firm to sign a standard non-disclosure agreement before providing the accounting firm access to the Audited Party’s facilities or records.  Upon completion of the audit, the accounting firm will provide both the Audited Party and the Requesting Party a written report 
30








disclosing any discrepancies in the reports submitted by the Audited Party or, as applicable, the amounts payable under this Agreement, and in each case, the specific details concerning any discrepancies.  No other information will be provided to the Requesting Party.
8.6.7 Underpayments/Overpayments.  If such accounting firm concludes that additional amounts were due to the Requesting Party, the Audited Party will make such payments as is necessary for the Requesting Party to have been paid the correct amount due under this Agreement for the audited periods.  If such underpayment exceeds five percent (5%) of the amounts that were to be paid, the Audited Party also will reimburse the Requesting Party for all Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred in conducting the audit.  If such accounting firm correctly concludes that the Audited Party overpaid amounts due to the Requesting Party, the Requesting Party will refund such overpayments to the Audited Party within sixty (60) days of the date the Requesting Party receives such accountant’s report so correctly concluding. 
8.6.8 Confidentiality.  All financial information of a Party that is subject to review under this Section 8.6 will be deemed to be Confidential Information of such Audited Party subject to the provisions of Article 10, and the Requesting Party will not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than verifying payments to be made by the Audited Party to the Requesting Party hereunder.
8.7 Adjustment of FTE Rates.  Effective upon each anniversary of the Effective Date, the FTE Rates will increase by the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics during the most recent preceding one (1) year period for which final data is available, and such increase will be effective for the then-current and all subsequent FTE Costs hereunder unless and until further modified under this Section 8.7.  In addition, within sixty (60) days after the third anniversary of the Effective Date and every three (3) years thereafter, each Party will have the right to require the other Party to conduct a salary survey in respect of FTEs and provide the result of such survey.  In addition, a Party may conduct a salary survey at its own discretion in respect of FTEs and provide such survey to the other Party.  Following receipt of such survey from each Party, the Parties may agree in writing to adjust one or more of the FTE Rates.

9.1.3 Joint Inventions.  The Parties will jointly own all Joint Inventions, and each will have an undivided interest in the Joint Inventions subject to the licenses granted under this Agreement.
9.1.4 Inventorship.  For purposes of determining whether an invention is solely invented by AEVI or solely invented by KKC, or a Joint Invention, questions of inventorship will be resolved in accordance with United States patent laws.
9.2 Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights.  
9.2.1 KKC Patent Rights.  This Section 9.2 will not apply to the KKC Patent Rights over which KKC has no right to control the filing, prosecution or maintenance thereof, and, for purposes of this Section 9.2, the KKC Patent Rights over which KKC has the right to control the filing, prosecution and maintenance thereof, including those described in clauses (a) and (c) of Section 1.52, but excluding those described in clause (b) of Section 1.52, are referred to as the “KKC Managed Patent Rights.”
(a) As between KKC and AEVI, KKC, through counsel of its choosing, will control (but not be obligated to control) the prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and re-examinations) and maintenance of the KKC Patent Rights in the Territory. AEVI will provide all reasonable assistance required to prosecute the KKC Patent Rights in the Territory. AEVI will have the right to review and comment upon any substantive communications received from the applicable patent offices with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights, including, but not limited to, official actions, examination reports, documents relating to patentability and/or amendment or cancellation of the claims, and documents related to patent term adjustment and patent term extension. KKC will consider all comments received from AEVI with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights and will comply with all reasonable requests. In addition, AEVI will have the right to review and comment upon any substantive communications that KKC plans to make to an applicable patent office in the Territory with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights, including, but not limited to, draft responses to official actions, draft responses to examination reports, drafts relating to amendment or cancellation of the claims, and drafts relating to patent term adjustment and/or extension. KKC will provide AEVI with a copy of each such communication or filing reasonably in advance of submitting such communication or filing to the relevant patent authority. KKC will consider all comments received from AEVI and will comply with all reasonable requests. In addition to the above, KKC will keep AEVI reasonably informed with respect to all such prosecution and maintenance activities to which KKC has access, including written communications with patent office officials, and consult with AEVI regarding such matters, including the planned abandonment of claims thereof.
(b) If KKC determines in its sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any KKC Managed Patent Rights, in one or more country(ies) or in the entire Territory, then KKC will provide AEVI with at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of such determination to abandon or cease maintenance (or such other longer period of time reasonably necessary to allow AEVI to assume such responsibilities). If KKC provides such a notification, then AEVI will have the right (but not the obligation), to control the prosecution and maintenance of any such KKC Managed 
32








Patent Rights in its sole discretion and at AEVI’s sole cost and expense by providing KKC with notice thereof within such sixty (60) day period.  In the event that AEVI so elects to control the prosecution and maintenance of any KKC Managed Patent Rights, then in the concerned country(ies) or in the entire Territory, as applicable, KKC will provide all reasonable assistance required to prosecute such KKC Managed Patent Rights in the concerned country(ies) or in the entire Territory, at AEVI’s sole cost and expense, including allowing AEVI to exercise all rights of KKC under the KKC In-License with LJI relevant to prosecution and maintenance of the KKC Managed Patent Rights.  KKC will have the right to review and comment upon any substantive communications and filings made by AEVI with respect to the prosecution of such KKC Managed Patent Rights before they are sent to any patent offices in the entire Territory. AEVI will provide KKC with a copy of each such communication or filing reasonably in advance of submitting such communication or filing to the relevant patent authority. With respect to all such prosecution and maintenance AEVI will keep KKC reasonably informed with respect to such activities (including by providing KKC with access to all filings and correspondence with and from any patent offices or officials upon request by KKC), and consult with KKC regarding such matters, including the abandonment of claims thereof
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 9.3.1(a)), the following terms and conditions will apply with respect to the KKC Patent Rights: (i) with respect to those KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI, LJI and KKC will have the joint right to control the filing, prosecution and maintenance of such KKC Patent Rights, including the extension of the patent term(s) of such KKC Patent Rights, and if both LJI and KKC determine in their sole discretion to abandon or not maintain such KKC Patent Rights, then AEVI will have the right, subject to Section 9.3.1(a) and the other applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, to control the prosecution and maintenance of any such KKC Patent(s) and KKC will request LJI to provide all reasonable assistance required to prosecute and maintain such KKC Patent Rights; and (ii) with respect to those KKC Patent Rights jointly owned by LJI, on the one hand, and KKC and/or its Affiliates, on the other hand, in the event that both KKC and AEVI determine in their sole discretion to abandon or not maintain any such KKC Patent(s), then (A) LJI will have the right to control the filing, prosecution and maintenance (including, without limitation, the extension of the patent term(s)) of such KKC Patents, and (B) all rights and licenses granted to KKC under the LJI Agreement (and therefore the sublicense to AEVI under this Agreement) in and to such KKC Patent(s) will immediately terminate.  
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that KKC does not have the right to control or participate in the prosecution or maintenance of Patent Rights under a KKC In-License, no right to prosecute or maintain such Patent Rights are granted to AEVI by this Agreement.
(e) All information, if any, exchanged between the Parties or between KKC’s outside patent counsel and AEVI regarding preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of the KKC Patent Rights will be deemed Confidential Information of KKC.  In addition, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, with regard to such preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of the KKC Patent Rights, the interests of the Parties as licensor and licensee are to obtain the 
33








strongest patent protection possible, and as such, are aligned and are legal in nature.  The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have not waived, and nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver of, any legal privilege concerning the KKC Patent Rights including without limitation, privilege under the common interest doctrine and similar or related doctrines.
9.2.2 Joint Inventions. With respect to any potentially patentable Joint Invention, the Parties will meet and agree upon which Party will lead (in a joint effort with the other Party) the preparation, filing, prosecution (including any interferences, reissue proceedings and reexaminations) and maintenance of patent applications covering such Joint Invention (any such patent application and any patents issuing therefrom a “Joint Patent”) in any jurisdiction. Joint Patents are included within both the KKC Technology and AEVI Technology and within the licenses granted to each Party hereunder. The Party that leads prosecution of a patent application in the Joint Patents (the “Prosecuting Party”) will provide the other Party reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such prosecution efforts regarding the applicable Joint Patents in the particular jurisdictions, and such other Party will provide the Prosecuting Party reasonable assistance in such efforts, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution. The Prosecuting Party will provide the other Party with a copy of all material communications from any patent authority in the applicable jurisdictions regarding the Joint Patent being prosecuted by such Party, and will provide drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities a reasonable amount of time in advance of submitting such filings or responses. In particular, each Party agrees to provide the other Party with all information necessary or desirable to enable the other Party to comply with the duty of candor/duty of disclosure requirements of any patent authority.  Either Party may determine that it is no longer interested in supporting the continued prosecution or maintenance of a particular Joint Patent in a country or jurisdiction, in which case: (i) the disclaiming Party will no longer be obligated to pay any costs for filing, prosecution or maintenance thereof; (ii) the disclaiming Party will, if requested in writing by the other Party, assign its ownership interest in such Joint Patent in such country or jurisdiction to the other Party for no additional consideration and (iii) if such assignment is effected, any such Joint Patent would thereafter be deemed a patent of AEVI in the case of assignment to AEVI, or a patent of KKC in the case of assignment to KKC.
9.2.3 New Inventions. AEVI will retain ownership of, and be entitled to file patents (in its sole discretion) in its name, on all AEVI Inventions, and KKC will retain ownership of, and be entitled to file patents (in its sole discretion) in its name, on all KKC Inventions.  All the foregoing will be included in the license granted by each Party to the other Party in Article 7.  Each Party will disclose any such inventions or improvements to the other Party within (***) of filing a patent application claiming the Invention. 
9.2.4 Cooperation.  Each Party hereby agrees: (a) to make its employees, agents and consultants reasonably available to the other Party (or to the other Party’s authorized attorneys, agents or representatives), to the extent reasonably necessary to enable such Party to undertake patent prosecution as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) to cooperate, if necessary and appropriate, with the other Party in gaining patent term extensions wherever applicable to Patent Rights that are subject to this Agreement; and (c) to endeavor in good faith to coordinate 
34








its efforts with the other Party to minimize or avoid interference with the prosecution and maintenance of the other Party’s patent applications that are subject to this Agreement.  
9.2.5 Patent Costs.  KKC will bear all of the costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining the KKC Patent Rights, and AEVI will bear all of the costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining the AEVI Patent Rights.  The costs and expenses of filing, prosecuting and maintaining the Joint Patents shall be borne solely by AEVI for costs and expenses incurred inside the Territory.
9.3 Enforcement of Patent Rights.
9.3.1 Notification.  Each Party will promptly report in writing to the other Party during the Term any (a) known or suspected infringement by a Third Party of any KKC Patent Rights, AEVI Patent Rights or Patent Rights covering Joint Inventions or (b) unauthorized use or misappropriation by a Third Party of any Confidential Information, including KKC Know-How or AEVI Know-How, of which it becomes aware, and will provide the other Party with all available evidence supporting such infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation.
9.3.2 Rights to Enforce.  KKC will have the right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate to: (a) stop infringing activities described in Section 9.3.1 in respect of the KKC Technology in the Territory including initiating or prosecuting an infringement or other appropriate suit or action against the alleged infringer, but not granting adequate rights and licenses necessary for continuing such activities by the alleged infringer or (b) defend the KKC Technology in the Territory against any declaratory judgment, opposition, patentability or invalidity actions (“Defensive Actions”).  KKC may request that AEVI grant such adequate rights and licenses; provided that AEVI will have no obligation to grant any such rights or licenses; and provided further that upon making such request, AEVI will have the right to participate in all negotiations with the alleged infringer concerning such adequate rights and licenses.  Before KKC takes any action to stop the infringing activity against an alleged infringer of the KKC Technology in the Territory, KKC will consult in good faith with AEVI concerning the alleged infringement, including selection of counsel, litigation strategy, litigation risks, the damage being caused to KKC and/or AEVI and any other matter relevant to enforcement of the KKC Technology against the alleged infringer in the Territory.  In particular, KKC will consider in good faith a request from AEVI to not take any actions to enforce the KKC Technology against the alleged infringer in the Territory and only take such actions, in light of such request from AEVI, if KKC is suffering material harm from the infringement in the Territory.  Subject to the provisions of the LJI Agreement, in the event that KKC elects to not take action or cease action with respect to the KKC Managed Patent Rights pursuant to this Section 9.3.2 with respect to the Territory, including declining or ceasing to defend Defensive Actions, KKC will so notify AEVI in writing of its intention (***) prior to any deadlines by which an action must be taken to establish, preserve or maintain any enforcement rights or defend or continue to defend the Defensive Action, and, subject to Section 9.3.4, AEVI will have the right, but not the obligation, to take any such reasonable measures to stop such infringing activities by such alleged infringer or defend the Defensive Action, in which event, upon AEVI’s request, KKC will exercise its rights under the LJI Agreement to the extent 
35








necessary for the enforcement or defense of KKC Managed Patent Rights that are subject to the LJI Agreement.
9.3.3 Procedures; Expenses and Recoveries.  The Party having the right to initiate any infringement suit or defend a Defensive Action under Section 9.3.2 (the “Controlling Party”) will have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for and control any such suit or Defensive Action.  The expenses of the suit or the Defensive Action, including attorneys’ fees and court costs and the reasonable Out-of-Pocket Costs the other Party (the “Cooperating Party”) in rendering assistance requested by the Controlling Party (“Enforcement Expense”), will be borne (***).  If required under Applicable Law in order for the Controlling Party to initiate and/or maintain such suit or to defend the Defensive Action, or if either Party is unable to initiate or prosecute such suit or defend the Defensive Action solely in its own name or it is otherwise advisable to obtain an effective legal remedy, in each case, the other Party will join as a party to the suit or Defensive Action and will execute and cause its Affiliates to execute all documents necessary for the Controlling Party to initiate litigation to prosecute and maintain such action or defend the Defensive Action.  In addition, at the Controlling Party’s request, the Cooperating Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Controlling Party in connection with an infringement suit (***).  The Cooperating Party will have the right to participate and be represented in any such suit by its own counsel at its own expense.  If the Parties obtain from a Third Party, in connection with such suit, any damages, license fees, royalties or other compensation (including any amount received in settlement of such litigation) (“Recoveries”) in the Territory, such amounts will be allocated as follows:
(***).
9.3.4 LJI Enforcement Rights.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event that (***), LJI will have the right but not the obligation under the LJI Agreement to bring, defend, or maintain any appropriate suit or action involving such infringement or Defensive Action at its own cost and expense against alleged infringers and to defend such KKC Patent Rights from Defensive Actions. Subject to the foregoing, if LJI finds it necessary or reasonably desirable to join AEVI and/or KKC into such suit or action, AEVI and/or KKC will execute all papers and perform such other acts as may be reasonably required, and AEVI and/or KKC, at their respective options, may be represented by respective counsel(s) of their own choice, provided that (a) (***), and (b) if any amount is recovered on any such action or suit, whether by judgment or settlement (any such settlement requiring the consent of KKC), the balance of any such recovery will be paid to or retained (***) (including, for clarity, the LJI (***) set forth on Schedule 1.48) in respect of the applicable KKC Patent Right(s) and Licensed Product(s), after reimbursement for the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred with respect to such suit or action by LJI, KKC and AEVI.  
9.4 Claimed Infringement of Third Party Rights.
9.4.1 Notice.  In the event that a Third Party at any time provides written notice of a claim to, or brings an action, suit or proceeding against, any Party, or any of such Party’s respective Related Parties, claiming infringement of such Third Party’s Patent Rights or unauthorized use or misappropriation of such Third Party’s Know-How, based upon an assertion 
36








or claim arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product (each, an “Infringement Claim”), such Party will promptly notify the other Party of the Infringement Claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of the Infringement Claim and all papers served.  Each Party agrees to make available to the other Party its advice and counsel regarding the technical merits of any such claim at no cost to the other Party and to offer reasonable assistance to the other Party at no cost to the other Party.
9.4.2 Right to Defend.  AEVI will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any Infringement Claim brought against either Party or any of its Related Parties arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory.  KKC will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend any Infringement Claim brought against either Party or any of its Related Parties arising out of the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Licensed Product outside the Field.
(a) Procedure. The Party having the obligation or first right to defend an Infringement Claim in which either Party is named as defendant will be referred to as the “Defending Party.”  The Defending Party will have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for any Infringement Claim; provided that it will consult with the other Party with respect to selection of counsel for such defense.  The Defending Party will keep the other Party informed, and will from time to time consult with the other Party regarding the status of any such claims and will provide the other Party with copies of all documents filed in, and all written communications relating to, any suit brought in connection with such claims. The other Party will also have the right to participate and be represented in any such claim or related suit, at its own expense.  The other Party will have the sole and exclusive right to control the defense of an Infringement Claim in the event the Defending Party fails to exercise its right to assume such defense within (***) following written notice from the other Party of such Infringement Claim.  No Party will settle any claims or suits involving rights of another Party without obtaining the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Any recoveries by the Defending Party of attorneys’ fees or costs in defense of a claim in the Territory under this Section 9.4, and any sanctions awarded to Defending Party and against a party asserting a claim in the Territory being defended under this Section 9.4, will be (***).  The costs and expenses and damages incurred by the Parties in connection with defense of such Infringement Claim in the Territory will be treated as Allowable Expense in the Territory. The costs and expenses and damages incurred by the Parties in connection with defense of such Infringement Claim outside the Field will be allocated between the Parties as follows: (***). AEVI and KKC will have the right to take action to invalidate Third Party’s patents which would be infringed by the activity under this Agreement. The cost and expenses of such action will be shared in the same way as set forth above. 
9.4.3 Limitations.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 12.10, THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY OF KKC AND AEVI, AND THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF KKC OR AEVI, AS THE CASE MAY BE, IN THE CASE OF ANY CLAIMED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY PATENT RIGHTS OR UNAUTHORIZED USE OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY THIRD PARTY’S KNOW-HOW.
37








9.5 Third Party Technology.  If either Party reasonably determines that any Third Party Technology is reasonably necessary for the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of a Licensed Product in the Field, then such Party will notify the other Party.  The Parties will determine which Party will negotiate the most favorable license.  The chosen Party will obtain a license to such Third Party Technology with the right to sublicense to the other Party.  Subject to the foregoing, the terms and conditions involved in obtaining such rights will be determined at such chosen Party’s sole discretion.  If such chosen Party elects not to obtain rights to such Third Party Technology, or is unsuccessful in obtaining such Third Party Technology, then the other Party will have the right (but not the obligation) to negotiate and obtain rights from such Third Party at its sole discretion and expense.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.5, AEVI will pay to a Third Party any and all royalties and other payments pursuant to any agreement under which a Party acquires rights to intellectual property that would otherwise block the Development and/or Commercialization of a Profit-Share Product in the Field in the Territory.  Any such payments will be included in Third Party Technology Costs and, for clarity, will be included in Allowable Expenses for the applicable Profit-Share Product.  The costs outside the Field will be borne solely by KKC, provided that such costs will be subject to royalties reduction to AEVI in accordance with Section 8.5.2.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any lump sum payment under any such agreement that is made with respect to a license covering countries or jurisdictions in the Territory, the Parties will negotiate and decide in good faith the allocation of the payment based on the scope and territory of the acquired rights.
9.6 Other Infringement Resolutions. 
9.6.1 Notice of Third Party Applications. In the event of a dispute or potential dispute that has not ripened into a demand, claim or suit of the type described  Sections 9.3 or 9.4, the same principles governing control of the resolution of the dispute, consent to settlements of the dispute, and implementation of the settlement of the dispute (including sharing in and allocating the payment or receipt of damages, license fees, royalties and other compensation) will apply.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, within (***) after Regulatory Approval is achieved with respect to a BLA for a Licensed Product in the Territory (or such shorter time as the Parties agree in the case of a Licensed Product in the Territory that does not earn reference product exclusivity under the PHS Act), the Parties will consult as to potential strategies with respect to unexpired Patent Rights Controlled by either Party that potentially could be asserted if an unlicensed person engaged in the making, using, offering to sell, selling, or importing into the United States of a product described in a Biosimilar Application filed by a Third Party applicant (a “Section 351(k) Applicant”).  
9.6.2 Cooperation and Enforcement. If either Party who is the reference product sponsor of the Licensed Product within the meaning of section 351(l)(1)(A) of the PHS Act (“Reference Product Sponsor”) receives notice of a Biosimilar Application filed by a Section 351(k) Applicant that references such Licensed Product and related manufacturing information in accordance with section 351(l)(2)(A) of the PHS Act or receives a notice of commercial marketing in accordance with section 351(l)(8)(A) of the PHS Act, then such Party will provide notice to the other Party, and the Parties will discuss and cooperate with each other in 
38








determining the Reference Product Sponsor’s course of action with regard to (a) engaging in the information exchange provisions of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, Section 351(k) of the Public Health Service Act, as may be amended, supplemented, or replaced (the “BPCIA”), including providing a list of patents that relate to the relevant Licensed Product, (b) engaging in the patent resolution provisions of the BPCIA, and (c) determining which patents will be the subject of immediate patent infringement action under Section 351(l)(6) of the BPCIA.  In the event that the Parties do not agree with respect to the exercise of any such rights, KKC will make the final determination with respect thereto, including without limitation with respect to (a), (b) and (c) above.  If any patent litigation commences with respect to a Biosimilar Application filed by a Section 351(k) Applicant that references such Licensed Product, then the provisions of Section 9.3 will thereafter apply as if such Section 351(k) Applicant were an infringer or suspected infringer. 
9.7 Product Trademarks.  
9.7.1 Product Trademarks in the Territory. AEVI will own the Product Trademarks for each Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory and will be solely responsible for filing and maintaining the Product Trademarks in the Field in the Territory (including payment of costs associated therewith).  
9.7.2 Each Party agrees to (a) conduct its business in a manner that will not damage the reputation or integrity of the Trademarks of the other Party, (b) conduct its business in a manner that will not damage in any way the goodwill associated with the Trademarks of the other Party, (c) use the Trademarks of the other Party in a manner that will not cause a negative impact upon the good name of such other Party, and (d) conduct its business in compliance with all applicable trademark Laws.
9.8 Patent Term Extensions.  The Parties will use reasonable efforts to obtain all available supplementary protection certificates (“SPC”) and other extensions of Patent Rights.  Each Party will execute such authorizations and other documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to obtain such extensions.  The Parties will cooperate with each other in gaining patent term restorations, extensions and/or SPCs wherever applicable to Patent Rights. The Party first eligible to seek patent term restoration or extension of any such Patent Rights or any SPC related thereto will have the right to do so; provided that if in any country the first Party has an option to extend the patent term for only one of several patents, the first Party will consult with the other Party before making the election.  If more than one patent is eligible for extension or patent term restoration, KKC will select in good faith a strategy that will maximize patent protection and commercial value for each Licensed Product.  All filings for such extensions and certificates will be made by the Party to whom responsibility for prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights are assigned, provided that in the event that the Party to whom such responsibility is assigned elects not to file for an extension or SPC, such Party will (a) inform the other Party of its intention not to file and (b) grant the other Party the right to file for such extension or SPC in the patentee’s name, and (c) provide all necessary assistance in connection therewith.
39








9.9 Patent Marking.  AEVI (and its Related Parties) will mark Licensed Products marketed and sold by AEVI (and/or its Related Parties, as applicable) with appropriate numbers of the KKC Patent Rights printed on the appropriate portion of the packaging.  Without limiting the foregoing, AEVI shall mark each Licensed Product sold or offered for sale by or on behalf of AEVI with the patent number or numbers of any issued patents encompassed within the KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI, if applicable, and AEVI shall ensure that the content, form, location and language of such markings is in accordance with the applicable laws and practices of each jurisdiction in which the Licensed Products are made, used or sold.

10.1 Confidentiality.  
10.1.1 Confidential Information.  All Confidential Information disclosed by or on behalf of a Party (together with its Affiliates, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (together with its Affiliates, the “Receiving Party”) during the Term will be used by the Receiving Party solely in connection with the activities contemplated by this Agreement, will be maintained in confidence by the Receiving Party and will not otherwise be disclosed by the Receiving Party to any other person, firm, or agency, governmental or private (other than a Party’s Affiliates or as set forth in Section 10.1.2), without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except to the extent that the Confidential Information (as determined by competent documentation):
(a) was known or used by the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure prior to its date of disclosure to the receiving Party; or
(b) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party is lawfully disclosed to the Receiving Party without restriction as to its use or disclosure by sources other than the Disclosing Party rightfully in possession of the Confidential Information; or
(c) either before or after the date of the disclosure to the Receiving Party becomes published or generally known to the public (including information known to the public through the sale of products in the ordinary course of business) through no fault or omission on the part of the Receiving Party or its sublicensees; or
(d) is independently developed by or for the Receiving Party without reference to or reliance upon the Confidential Information.
All obligations of confidentiality imposed under this Article 10 will expire five (5) years following termination of this Agreement.
10.1.2 Required Disclosures. Section 10.1.1 will not preclude the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information to the extent such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by the Receiving Party to comply with Applicable Laws, to defend or prosecute litigation or to comply with governmental regulations, provided that the Receiving Party provides prior written notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party and takes reasonable and 
40








lawful actions to avoid and/or minimize the degree of such disclosure.  If a public disclosure is required by any Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or submission to an exchange on which any securities of a Party is listed, the disclosing Party will provide copies of the disclosure (but shall be permitted to redact or omit portions of any filing, submission or disclosure not relevant to this Agreement) reasonably in advance of such filing or other disclosure, for the non-disclosing Party’s prior review and comment and to allow the other Party a reasonable time to object to any such disclosure or to request confidential treatment thereof. The disclosing Party will negotiate in good faith with the applicable Regulatory Authority concerning the confidential treatment request.  If the disclosure is substantially similar to prior disclosures made by the Party and for which the obligations of this provision have been satisfied, the disclosing Party need not share such disclosure ahead of it being made.
10.1.3 Permitted Disclosures. KKC and AEVI each agree that they will provide Confidential Information received from the other Party only to their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, suppliers, sublicensees, collaborators and advisors, and to those of such Party’s Related Parties, who have a need to know for such Party’s development, manufacture, and commercialization of Licensed Products in accordance with this Agreement, including in connection with Regulatory Filings and obtaining Regulatory Approvals, provided that such Third Parties are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as strict as this Article 10.  In addition, each Party may not disclose the terms of this Agreement (to the extent such terms are confidential) to any Third Party except to actual or prospective lenders, investors, acquirers, licensees/sublicensees or strategic partners (including the KKC Licensors and AEVI Licensor) or to a Party’s accountants, attorneys and other professional advisors; provided that such disclosures will be subject to continued confidentiality obligations at least as strict as this Article 10.  
10.2 Publication Review.  
10.2.1 Publications by the Parties.  Subject to Section 10.2.2 and except as required by Applicable Law, during the Term, each Party agrees that, unless explicitly authorized  in this Agreement, it will not without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, file patent application, issue any press release, make any public announcement, or issue any scientific or other presentations or publications, with respect to the results of any Development work relating to this Agreement without the opportunity for prior review by the other Party. With respect to any such proposed publications or presentations by one of the Parties, each Party will provide to the other Party for information and review any (a) abstracts, posters and slide presentations that the Party proposes prior to any scientific meetings and the other Party will provide feedback to the publishing Party within ten (10) of its Business Days of its receipt of such abstracts, posters and slide presentations, and (b) primary and final manuscripts and review articles that the Party proposes prior to journal submission and the other Party will provide feedback within fifteen (15) of its Business Days of its receipt of such manuscript or article.  Each Party agrees, upon request from the other Party, not to submit any abstract or manuscript for publication or to make any scientific presentation until the other Party is given up to forty-five (45) days from the date of such written request to seek appropriate patent protection for any material in such publication or presentation 
41








which it reasonably believes is patentable.  Once such abstracts, manuscripts or presentations have been reviewed by the other Party and have been approved for publication, the same abstracts, manuscripts or presentations do not have to be provided again to the other Party for review for a later submission for publication.  Expedited reviews for abstracts or poster presentations may be arranged if mutually agreeable to the Parties.  The other Party also will have the right to require that its Confidential Information that may be disclosed in any such proposed publication or presentation be deleted prior to such publication or presentation. 
10.2.2 Publications by Third Parties. Notwithstanding Section 10.2.1, the Parties understand and agree that any restrictions on scientific or other presentations or publications will not be construed to prohibit the clinical investigators of any clinical trials conducted under this Agreement, from making scholarly publications, manuscripts, abstracts, oral presentations or other disclosures with respect to the results of any Development work, including without limitation clinical data resulting from such clinical trials (“Publications”); provided that AEVI will ensure that (a) any such clinical investigator must agree to submit to KKC for its review and comment, a copy of any proposed Publication, abstract or other disclosure resulting from such activities, simultaneous with submission of the same to AEVI and at least forty-five (45) days prior to any such presentation or publication, (b) such publication will not contain any references to, or otherwise disclose any of, the Confidential Information (other than clinical data) without KKC’s prior written consent, and (c) at KKC’s request, such clinical investigator will, for a reasonable period of up to ninety (90) days from initial delivery to KKC, delay revealing any subject matter included in the clinical data in any publication or disclosure in order to permit the filing of patent applications.
10.3 Public Announcements and Use of Names.  Except for public disclosures (a) resulting from the issuance of one or more press releases to be mutually-agreed upon by the Parties, (b) otherwise permitted under this Article 10 or (c) required by Applicable Law or by the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which a Party’s securities are traded, neither Party will disclose any publicity, news release or public announcements, written or oral, whether to the public or press, stockholders or otherwise, relating to the execution of this Agreement, the subject matter of this Agreement, any of the terms of this Agreement, or any amendment hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party.

If AEVI or any of its Affiliates directly claim, or cause a Third Party to claim, or knowingly supports (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a cross-claim or a counter-claim, or in response to a subpoena or court or administrative law request or order), including by providing information, documents, and/or funding, a claim (a) to the validity, scope, enforceability or patentability of any of the KKC Patent Rights in any formal legal or administrative action or proceeding, or (b) that no Earned Royalties, Sublicense Royalties, Net Receipts, milestone payments, Patent Costs or other payments (as such capitalized terms are defined under the LJI Agreement) are due or required to be paid to LJI under the LJI Agreement because the applicable KKC Patents licensed by LJI to KKC under the LJI Agreement covering or claiming a Licensed Product are invalid or unenforceable except where such KKC Patent Rights have been found to be unpatentable, invalid or unenforceable by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction, from which decision no appeal is taken or can be taken, or have been admitted or determined to be invalid or unenforceable through reissue, re-examination, disclaimer or similar formal proceeding, or where a pending application within the KKC Patent Rights has been abandoned or finally rejected (in each case, other than pursuant to a claim by KKC, AEVI or their respective Affiliates or by a Third Party caused by any of the foregoing entities) in any Challenge, then (x) if and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (***) during and after the pendency of such Challenges from the date KKC, AEVI, or any of their respective Affiliates first institute or make such challenges. In such event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) AEVI will not be obligated to (***) in case such Challenges are initiated or conducted solely by or on behalf of KKC or any of its Affiliates (in which case, KKC will be responsible for (***)), and (ii) KKC will not be obligated to (***) in case such Challenges are initiated or conducted solely by or on behalf of AEVI or any of its Affiliates (in which case, AEVI (***)).

AEVI will assign, and hereby does assign effective as of the effective date of such termination, to KKC all Regulatory Filings (including all INDs and NDAs) and Regulatory Approvals and all other documents necessary to further Develop, Manufacture, and Commercialize the Licensed Products, as they exist as of the date of such termination, (and all of AEVI’s right, title and interest therein and thereto).  AEVI will provide to KKC one (1) copy of the foregoing documents and Regulatory Filings, all documents and filings contained in or referenced in any such Regulatory Filings, together with the raw and summarized data for any preclinical and clinical studies of the Licensed Product.  For clarity, KKC will have the right to use the foregoing material information, materials and data developed by AEVI solely in connection with KKC’s development, manufacture and commercialization of Licensed Products.  KKC will have the right to seek specific performance of AEVI’s obligations referenced in this Section 11.4.2 and/or in the event of failure to obtain assignment, AEVI hereby consents and grants to KKC the right to access and reference (without any further action required on the part of AEVI, whose authorization to file this consent with any Regulatory Authority is hereby granted) any and all such regulatory filings for any regulatory or other use or purpose. Without limiting the foregoing in this paragraph, to the extent applicable, AEVI’s obligations 
46








under this Section 11.4.2 will continue with respect to all countries in the Territory for which there is a failure to obtain assignment of all regulatory filings and Regulatory Approvals.  
11.4.3 Know-How Transfer.  AEVI will provide to KKC all data and information generated during the Term necessary for the development and/or commercialization of the relevant Licensed Products and assign (or, if applicable, cause its Affiliate to assign) to KKC all of AEVI’s (and such Affiliate’s) entire right, title and interest in and to all such data and information.  AEVI will provide to KKC the tangible embodiments of all other Know-How Controlled by AEVI and its Affiliates in existence as of the effective date of such termination relating to the Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization of the Licensed Products, including without limitation AEVI’s manufacturing processes, techniques and trade secrets necessary for and used in the manufacture of such Licensed Products as of the effective date of such termination and all Know-How specifically relating to any composition, formulation, method of use or manufacture of such Licensed Products.  AEVI will grant, and hereby does grant effective as of the effective date of such termination, to KKC a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide right and license under such Know-How for developing, making, using, importing, selling and offering for sale Licensed Products.  AEVI will reasonably cooperate with KKC to assist KKC with understanding and using the Know How provided to KKC under this Section 11.4.3.  If AEVI has decided to abandon all of its Development and/or Commercialization efforts with respect to the Licensed Product,  and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.2.5, AEVI will provide to KKC all technology resulting from such abandoned Development and/or Commercialization efforts.

11.4.4 Trademarks. To the extent that AEVI owns any trademark(s) (including without limitation any Product Trademarks) and/or domain names that pertain specifically to an Licensed Product that KKC believes would be necessary for the Commercialization of a Licensed Product (as then currently marketed, but not including any marks that include, in whole or part, any corporate name or logo of AEVI), AEVI will assign (or, if applicable, cause its Affiliate to assign), and hereby does assign effective as of the effective date of such termination, to KKC all of AEVI’s (and such Affiliate’s) right, title and interest in and to any registered or unregistered trademark, trademark application, trade name or internet domain name in each country.

AEVI will grant, and hereby grants effective as of the effective date of such termination, to KKC a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide (excluding the countries of the Territory to which AEVI retains its rights) right and license under any Patent Rights owned solely by AEVI or its Affiliates as of the effective date of termination to the extent that such Patent Rights cover or claim the composition of matter, use, or manufacture of Licensed Products and for the sole purpose of developing, manufacturing, and commercializing Licensed Products.  AEVI will grant to KKC, under any Patent Rights that AEVI’s Controls but does not own at the time of termination, to the full extent permitted under the agreement(s) of AEVI covering such Patent 
47








Rights, a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free (as to AEVI), transferable, sublicensable, worldwide (excluding the countries of the Territory to which AEVI retains its rights) right and license, to the extent that such Patent Rights cover or claim the composition of matter, use, or manufacture of Licensed Products and for the sole purpose of developing, manufacturing, and commercializing Licensed Products; provided that  KKC enters into a written agreement with AEVI with respect to each such Patent Right that (a) ensures compliance with the applicable contract between AEVI and its licensor including KKC agreeing to all provisions thereof that must be imposed on sublicensees, (b) requires KKC to pay all amounts payable to its licensor by AEVI related to KKC’s exercise or enjoyment of such rights including milestones, royalties and patent expenses and (c) indemnifies AEVI for any breach of such agreement between KKC and AEVI.

If AEVI has the capability in place as of the effective date of such termination to commercially Manufacture and supply to KKC all or part of KKC’s requirements of the applicable Licensed Products, if KKC so elects in its sole discretion, AEVI will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to supply to KKC (***) as much of KKC’s requirements of such Licensed Products (and to develop a reasonable inventory level) during such period, (***) for such Licensed Products, under terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed between the Parties.  If KKC, despite its best efforts, is unable to Manufacture, or to secure a supply of, such Licensed Products in an amount sufficient to meet its requirements (***), AEVI will continue to supply such Licensed Products to KKC to the extent necessary to meet KKC’s requirements, so long as KKC continues to use its best efforts to develop the capabilities necessary to Manufacture such Licensed Products and/or to secure a supply of such Licensed Products. 
11.4.7 Transfer of Manufacturing Technology. In the event, at the time of such termination, (a) AEVI manufactures the Licensed Products at its own facility, AEVI will conduct manufacturing technology transfer to KKC, and (b) if AEVI engages a Third Party to manufacture and supply the Licensed Products, AEVI will, at KKC’s election, either (i) have such Third Party conduct manufacturing technology transfer to KKC or (ii) will use reasonable efforts to assist in the transfer of such supply arrangements to KKC.
11.4.8 Continuing Obligations. Neither Party will be relieved of any obligation that accrued prior to the effective date of such termination.  All amounts due or payable to KKC that were accrued prior to the effective date of termination will remain due and payable.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no additional amounts will be payable based on events occurring after the effective date of termination; provided that the foregoing will not be deemed to limit either Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement for acts or omissions incurring prior to the effective date of such termination that are the subject of such indemnification even if the indemnification amount cannot be accrued or determined as of the effective date of such termination.
48








11.4.9 Retention of Payments. KKC will have the right to retain all amounts previously paid to KKC by AEVI. 
11.4.10 No Compensation.  KKC will not owe any compensation to AEVI for the research, development, manufacture, or commercialization of any Licensed Products in the event of any termination of the Agreement by KKC, without prejudice to any rights that either Party may have to bring a claim for damages arising out of this Agreement and the termination thereof or any other amounts payable with respect to activities conducted prior to the effective date of such termination.  
11.4.11 Costs. Any costs and expenses incurred by AEVI in connection with the assignments and transfers made by AEVI under this Section 11.4 will be borne by AEVI. 
11.5 Return of Confidential Information.  Upon the termination of this Agreement, each Party will promptly return to the other Party, delete or destroy (with written notification of such destruction) all relevant records and materials in such Party’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that such Party may keep one copy of such materials for archival purposes only.
11.6 Effect of Termination; Survival.  The termination of this Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any obligation accruing prior to such termination.  The provisions of Article 10 (Confidentiality), Article 12 (Representations and Warranties; Indemnification) and Article 13 (Miscellaneous Provisions) and Sections 7.4.3 (Effect of Termination on Sublicenses), 7.7 (Obligation under the BARDA Contract), 9.2.2 (Joint Inventions) and 11.3.5 (No obligation to KKC) will survive any termination of this Agreement.  Except as set forth in this Article 11 or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement all other rights and obligations cease.  Any termination of this Agreement will be without prejudice to the rights of either Party against the other accrued or accruing under this Agreement before termination.
11.7 Rights in Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by either Party, including without limitation Article 7, are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States, licenses of right to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or analogous provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States (hereinafter “IP”).  The Parties agree that each Party, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other provisions of Applicable Law outside the United States that provide similar protection for IP.  In the event of termination of a Party pursuant to Section 11.2.1 or 11.3.1, the terminated Party hereby grants to the other Party and its Affiliates a right to obtain possession of and to benefit from a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) any such IP and all embodiments of intellectual property, which, if not already in such other Party’s possession, will be promptly delivered to it upon such other Party’s written request therefor.  The term “embodiments of intellectual property” includes all tangible, electronic or other embodiments of rights and licenses hereunder, including all Licensed Products, all Regulatory Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals and rights of reference therein, and all Information related to Licensed Products, KKC Technology and 
49








AEVI Technology, as applicable.  The terminated Party will not interfere with the exercise by the other Party or its Affiliates of rights and licenses to IP and embodiments of intellectual property licensed hereunder in accordance with this Agreement and agrees to assist such other Party and Affiliates of such other Party to obtain the IP and embodiments of intellectual property in the possession or control of Third Parties as reasonably necessary or desirable for such other Party or Affiliates of such other Party to exercise such rights and licenses in accordance with this Agreement.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that milestone payments made under Section 8.3 do not constitute royalties within the meaning of U.S. Bankruptcy Code §365(n) or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder.
11.8 No Limitation of Remedies.  Except as herein expressly provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, termination of this Agreement will not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation.  Each Party will be free, pursuant to Section 13.2, to seek (without restriction as to the number of times it may seek) damages, costs and remedies that may be available under Applicable Law or in equity and will be entitled to offset the amount of any damages and costs obtained in a final determination under Section 13.2 of monetary damages or costs (as permitted by this Agreement) against the other Party against any amounts otherwise due to such other Party under this Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that either Party will be entitled to seek specific performance as a remedy to enforce the provisions of this Article 11, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled by Applicable Law.  Nothing in this Article 11 will be deemed to limit any remedy to which either Party may be entitled by Applicable Law.

This indemnification excludes Losses arising out of Third Party Infringement Claims resulting from AEVI’s exercise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of any intellectual property rights granted by KKC hereunder.  Furthermore, AEVI will have no obligation to indemnify the KKC Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from, directly or indirectly, any matter for which KKC must indemnify AEVI under this Agreement.  In addition, AEVI will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend (i) LJI and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all Losses (including costs of investigation and court costs) arising at any time from or in any manner connected with, directly or indirectly, any activity of AEVI involving the KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI or any information  furnished  under  the  LJI  Agreement,  including  the  use,  handling,  storage, distribution, containment, sale and/or disposition of any product (whether or not a Licensed Product), or provision of any service, related to or derived directly or indirectly from or using any KKC Patent Rights solely owned by LJI; and (ii) the KKC Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses arising out of any Third Party Claims related to, directly or indirectly, any activities performed by or on behalf of AEVI or AEVI’s Third Party contract manufacturer in connection with the exercise of rights under the KKC Technology licensed under the KKC In-License with Lonza, if, pursuant to Section 7.4.1, KKC sublicenses its rights under such KKC Technology to AEVI or AEVI’s Third Party contract manufacturer for the Manufacture of Licensed Products by AEVI or such contract manufacturer.
55








12.10.2 Indemnification by KKC.  KKC will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend AEVI, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“AEVI Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of Third Party Claims arising out of or resulting from, directly or indirectly, (a) any material breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made by KKC in this Agreement, or any breach or violation of any covenant or agreement of KKC in or pursuant to this Agreement, (b) the negligence or willful misconduct by or of KKC or any of its Related Parties, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, (c) the practice by KKC or its Affiliate or sublicensee of any license or sublicense granted to it under Article 7, and/or (d) the Development, Manufacturing and Commercialization of Licensed Products (including product liability) by KKC or any of its Related Parties.

Furthermore, KKC will have no obligation to indemnify the AEVI Indemnitees to the extent that the Losses arise out of or result from, directly or indirectly, any matter for which AEVI must indemnify KKC.  
12.10.3 Indemnification Procedure.  In the event of any such claim against any AEVI Indemnitee or KKC Indemnitee (individually, an “Indemnitee”), the indemnified Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing of the claim and the indemnifying Party will manage and control, at its sole expense, the defense of the claim and its settlement.  The Indemnitee will cooperate with the indemnifying Party and may, at its option and expense, be represented in any such action or proceeding.  The indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlements, litigation costs or expenses incurred by any Indemnitee without the indemnifying Party’s written authorization.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnifying Party believes that any of the exceptions to its obligation of indemnification of the Indemnitees set forth in Section 12.10.1 or Section 12.10.2 may apply, the indemnifying Party will promptly notify the Indemnitees, which will then have the right to be represented in any such action or proceeding by separate counsel at their expense; provided that the indemnifying Party will be responsible for payment of such expenses if the Indemnitees are ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification from the indemnifying Party.  If the indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of such claim as described in this Section 12.10.3, above, the Indemnitee may defend such claim but will have no obligation to do so.  The defending Party will not settle or compromise such claim without the prior written consent of the other Party, and will not settle or compromise such claim in any manner which would have an adverse effect on such other Party’s interests, without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent, in each case, will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  
12.10.4 Insurance.  Each Party will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain insurance, including product liability insurance, with respect to its activities hereunder.  Such insurance will be in such amounts and subject to such deductibles as the Parties may agree based upon standards prevailing in the industry at the time in order to fulfill the obligation under Section 12.10.1 or 12.10.2, including, but not limited to, the indemnification against any Losses involving any actual or alleged death or bodily injury arising out of or resulting from the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any Licensed Product.

Such arbitration proceeding will be conducted in the English language applying the law provided in Section 13.1 and in such an expedited manner as is then permitted by the ICC’s commercial arbitration rules.  The Parties also agree to take reasonable discovery, with reasonableness to be determined by the arbitrators.  Each of the foregoing agreements to arbitrate all disputes and the results, determinations, findings, judgments and awards rendered through such arbitration will be final, non-appealable and legally binding on KKC and AEVI and may be entered and enforced by any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.2, a Party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Any arbitration proceeding will be initiated by written notice from either KKC or AEVI to the other Party.  The arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three (3) arbitrators.  Each of KKC and AEVI will have the right to select one (1) arbitrator.  The third arbitrator will be selected by the mutual agreement of the arbitrators appointed by the Parties.  The Party initiating the arbitration proceeding will appoint its arbitrator within ten (10) days following service of the demand for arbitration to the other Party, who will in turn appoint its arbitrator within thirty (30) days of receiving service of the demand.  The two appointed arbitrators will agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the date of the appointment by the parties of the second arbitrator.  If either Party or their appointees fail to appoint an arbitrator within the specified time period, the ICC will exercise its powers pursuant to Article 9 of the ICC 
57








Rules of Arbitration to appoint such arbitrator.  The ICC’s appointment will be binding on the Parties.  Each arbitrator will be an attorney in good standing in the Bar of New York and experienced in commercial disputes involving pharmaceutical companies.  Time is of the essence of this arbitration procedure, and KKC and AEVI will instruct the arbitrators to render their decision within ninety (90) days of the arbitration’s completion.  The cost of the arbitration (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne as the arbitrators will decide; otherwise such costs (including, without limitation, the prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, expenses and disbursements) will be borne by the Party against which the judgment of the arbitrator is to be enforced.
13.3 Assignment.  This Agreement may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, nor may any right or obligation hereunder be assigned or transferred, by either Party without the consent of the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) KKC may monetize the value of its payments under this Agreement by assigning to a Third Party the right to receive payments and the right to receive payment reports from AEVI; provided that KKC gives thirty (30) days prior written notice to AEVI, and (b) either Party may, without the other Party’s consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or pursuant to a Change of Control (but subject to the consent of Sanofi, to the extent required under Applicable Law, in respect of the KKC Technology licensed under the KKC In-License with Sanofi in the case of assignment by AEVI).  The assigning Party will remain responsible for the performance by its assignee of this Agreement or any obligations hereunder so assigned to such assignee.
13.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, except that Article 1 through 10 of the Clinical Development and Option Agreement will govern with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Date.  Any amendment or modification to this Agreement will be made in writing signed by both Parties.
13.5 Notices.  Any consent or notice required to be given or made under this Agreement by one of the Parties to the other will be in writing and (a) delivered by hand, (b) sent by internationally recognized overnight delivery service or (c) sent by facsimile transmission and confirmed by sender by prepaid, registered or certified mail letter, and will be deemed to have been properly served to the addressee upon receipt of such written communication, in any event to the following addresses:

13.8 Independent Contractors.  It is understood and agreed that the relationship between the Parties is that of independent contractors and that nothing in this Agreement will be construed as authorization for either KKC or AEVI to act as agent for the other.  Nothing herein contained will be deemed to create an employment, agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties or any of their agents or employees for any purpose, including tax purposes, or to create any other legal arrangement that would impose liability upon one Party for the act or failure to act of the other Party.  Neither Party will have any express or implied power to enter into any contracts or commitments or to incur any liabilities in the name of, or on behalf of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.

13.10 No Strict Construction.  This Agreement has been prepared jointly and will not be strictly construed against either Party.
13.11 Performance by Affiliates. Each Party recognizes that the other Party may perform some or all of its obligations under this Agreement through Affiliates to the extent permitted under this Agreement; provided, however, that such other Party will remain responsible for the performance by its Affiliates as if such obligations were performed by such other Party. 
13.12 Construction.  Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular will include the plural, the plural the singular, and the use of any gender will be applicable to all genders.  The captions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and in no way define, describe, extend or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or the intent of any provision contained in this Agreement.  The term “including” as used herein means including, without limiting the generality of any description that precedes such term, and will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “but not limited to,” “without limitation” or words of similar import regardless of whether such words are actually written there (and drawing no implication from the actual inclusion of such phrase in some instances after the word “including” but not others).  References to “Article”, “Articles”, “Section”, Sections”, “Exhibit” or “Exhibits” are references to the numbered Article(s), Section(s), or lettered Exhibit(s) of this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise.  Except where the context otherwise requires, (a) references to a particular law, rule or regulation mean such law, rule or regulation as in effect 
60








as of the relevant time, including all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor law, rule or regulation in effect as of the relevant time, and including the then-current amendments thereto; (b) the word “or” has the inclusive meaning that is typically associated with the phrase “and/or”; (c) whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number will refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified, and if a period of time is specified and dates from a given day or Business Day, or the day or Business Day of an act or event, it is to be calculated exclusive of that day or Business Day; (d) references to a particular person or entity include such person’s or entity’s successors and assigns to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement; (e) a capitalized term not defined herein but reflecting a different part of speech than a capitalized term which is defined herein will be interpreted in a correlative manner; and (f) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this Agreement (including any Exhibits).
13.13 No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative.  No failure on the part of KKC or AEVI to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, or provided by statute or at law or in equity or otherwise, will impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or as an acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
13.14 Severability.  If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the Parties will substitute, by mutual consent, valid provisions for such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions, which valid provisions in their economic effect are sufficiently similar to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions that it can be reasonably assumed that the Parties would have entered into this Agreement with such valid provisions.  In case such valid provisions cannot be agreed upon, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of one (1) or several provisions of this Agreement will not affect the validity of this Agreement as a whole, unless the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions are of such essential importance to this Agreement that it is to be reasonably assumed that the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
13.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly set forth in Section 12.10.2, no person or entity other than AEVI, KKC and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder will be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.
